Handmade quilt by women in San Pedro Sula, Honduras
Description
Isabel made this quilt called Monkey Business, made with flannel children's fabrics! Isabel is 19-years-old and has a 4-year-old son, and now a new baby girl. When she was two-months pregnant, her baby’s father was mistaken for someone else and killed by a gang.
She recently “married” and her young family lives at home with her mother.
As any teenager she longs for a better life for both she, her son, her new daughter, husband, and mother. This opportunity has given her hope for a brighter future. She is also grateful for the donations to One Common Thread that have given her some support to rely on.
