A Mission of the Heart

Elsie Dockweiler has been on a heartfelt mission since June 2022, creating hats for the Mission Heart campaign after learning how to loom knit. When she first began, Elsie made about 80 hats and set herself a goal for the following year. “In a happy year, if I could make 80 hats, my goal for the next year would be 160,” she told her daughters. They expressed concern over the ambitious target, but Elsie kept going. “When I reached over 200 hats,” she shared, “I texted my daughter in New York, but I didn’t tell her the real number.” Her daughter replied, “Next goal… 300.” Elsie smiled as she recalled, “I waited for her to visit and then I threw the number 367 at her.”
