She thought of the perfect answer: Crochet roses and sell them at The Salvation Army thrift store in nearby Owatonna.
“I wanted to help raise money for Haiti and use my fiber-craft talents at the same time, so crocheting roses seemed perfect,” Kemmits said.
She’s been making two kinds of roses: “Regular roses, with just a blossom, stem and leaf; and pen covers, where the pen makes up the stem,” she said.
The roses are as beautiful as they are a bargain, with regular roses selling for $1 and pen covers selling for $3.
“Victoria is a young lady on a mission to serve and make a difference,” said Sara Pirkl, Owatonna thrift store manager. “I am very impressed with her.”
All proceeds from the sale of the roses fund The Salvation Army’s relief efforts in Haiti. To date, The Salvation Army has provided nearly 3 million meals, 500,000 gallons of water, 2,900 tents and much more.

Amazing. I should start knitting a lot of scarfs and pass it out to the homeless for winter :) Thanks Victoria for showing me that not only adults can help others, but young ones as well. Thanks for the example. :)
