I'm Grace.
I have 2 brothers, and 2 sisters. I have a biological brother Ian. I have a sister Tessa. She was adopted from Ethiopia about 2 years ago. We are currently in the process of adopting Yoldine and Vladimy from Haiti. When we went to visit them, I noticed that the older girls there have to either wear pillowcase dresses or ill-fitting boys' clothes. People always just say "Oh, pillowcase dresses are easy to make. Let's send those" But just making them in bigger sizes doesn't make them fit better. So I decided to make them better-fitting skirts. I also want the girls to fit in culturally, because in Haiti, the women only wear skirts. I also want to raise money for the kids at the orphanage.
For each skirt I sell, I will also make a skirt for a girl in Haiti. When I bring the skirts to Haiti, I will try to take pictures of the girls there wearing them so you can see who you are helping.
Good job Grace!! We are super proud of you. You are a wonderful young lady and your brothers and sisters are blessed to have a big sister like you. Keep up the good work!
