    Default Charity Sewing by 96 year old

    I saw this article about a 96 year old woman who makes a little girls dress for charity every day. Awesome!

    That's wonderful that she still feels she has a purpose in life. That's most probably what has kept her going for so long. She's a very giving person. God's light shines through her.

    This is an inspirational article. I will look into sending her some thread and elastic and perhaps some fabric. Gotta get to an estate sale soon.

    Nancy Zieman is attached to this african dress charity and she also collects dresses.
