The story that started it all
Discover the powerful true story of Liam Conejo Ramos, whose innocent bravery sparked the creation of 'Crocheting Intentionally.' His journey ignited our passion for mindfulness, protection, and giving back to families in need.
Liam's journey: an unexpected inspiration
Liam Conejo Ramos, a bright 5-year-old from Minneapolis, was on his way to pre-school when his world was turned upside down. With his beloved Spiderman backpack and a comforting bunny hat, he and his father were unjustly detained by ICE, pulled from their car and transferred to an immigration detention center outside San Antonio, despite pleas from onlookers to release Liam to his school staff. This deeply moving event became the catalyst for Crocheting Intentionally.
Crocheting with purpose: supporting families
At Crocheting Intentionally, Liam's story serves as a constant reminder of the profound vulnerability many families face. By supporting our site and purchasing our unique, handcrafted products, you are directly contributing to a vital cause. A portion of every sale goes towards providing food and protection for families in need right here in Minneapolis. As we grow, so too will our reach, extending our ability to help more families across the country.
The heart of our craft: intention and protection
Liam's Bunny Hat, a replica of the one he wore during his detention, is more than just a product; it's a symbol. Every "Liam's Bunny Hat" we create is infused with a powerful intention of protection. Each piece contains at least one carefully selected protection crystal, strategically placed to infuse the item and imbue it with this specific intention. This deep commitment to mindfulness and purpose, stemming directly from Liam's story, is the very essence of all our intentional crochet items.
"Every stitch tells a story of hope and intention."
