Meet our founder

Linda Simington

As a cancer and stroke survivor, I understand firsthand the emotional and physical challenges that accompany serious illness. During COVID, I experienced hospitalization without the presence of loved ones, creating a deep sense of isolation. Blooming Hope was created to ensure that no one facing illness feels alone.

Through Linda Lane Crochet Design Inc., Linda turns yarn into comfort — teaching others to crochet and donating every handmade blanket, chemo hat and cancer-colored carnation to patients who need a reminder that they are loved.
