Today, we’re celebrating Hilo de Esperanza Guatemala and their incredible 4-year journey of knitting and donating Knitted Knockers to women throughout Guatemala!

And they’re not stopping here… ¡Vamos por más! 🙌🇬🇹

Please join us in congratulating Hilo de Esperanza on this incredible milestone! 🎉👏

💗 Meet Aditi Mohan, our Youth Director! 🧶

Aditi’s Knitted Knockers journey began as a high school student during the pandemic. She reached out to our founder, Barbara Demorest, with an idea to start a Knitted Knockers club at her school. One email led to another—and Aditi soon became our Youth Director!

Today, she’s a medical student at the Medical College of Georgia and continues to inspire young people to turn their love of knitting and crochet into meaningful service.

Her first Knitted Knocker? Let’s just say it looked more like a sock! 😂 But she kept trying, mastered the pattern, and even created a tutorial to help other beginners.

Aditi says Knitted Knockers have taught her “the healing power that empathy can have, especially to those that need it most.” She also loves that crocheting can be a way to “fill your own cup” while providing comfort, dignity, and kindness to breast cancer survivors.

And her message to other young people is clear: you can make a difference, too!

🎓 Is your school, college, or university ready to start a Youth for Knitted Knockers chapter? We'd love to help you get started!
