Her family went through a very hard time when she was younger which resulted in her and her brothers moving to Lima. She had a difficult time finding a job that would support her family, now thanks to her job with KKPeru she no longer has to worry.

Thank you, Julia Villegas
Dear Julia, I just received my Davey bag for my birthday and I am in love! The crazy, tribal pattern fits me perfectly. The bag is the perfect size and is simply, beautifully crafted. Thank you for making this awesome bag! I am glad that you are able to support your family with the help of Krochet Kids and your amazing knitting skills!
Much Love,
Lydia
Hi Julia!
I wanted to say thank you so much for the beautiful scarf that you made! I love it! You did an incredible job on it; it is so so soft and warm around my neck here in cold Canada! Know you are loved on the other side of the world!
Hi Julia! I just received a beautiful scarf that you knitted. It is very soft and a pretty color I would call “rust”. You did a wonderful job on the knitting, very even and straight. I knit scarves in my spare time and send them to a Rescue Mission. So why didn’t I just knit a scarf for myself???? Because I really wanted one from Krochet Kids International. I love the hand signed label. Thank you, Julia. I plan to wear my new scarf every where, with the label out for everyone to see. I am so proud of it!
Julia,
I love the hat you made. It has a warmth and softness like no other.
Thank you and God bless.

Julia! I absolutely love the hat. I’ll be going back to Newbury Comics tomorrow to buy a one for my best friend, and maybe a few family members. It looks like the name on my hat is signed Julia Gonzales, but nothing showed up in the search bar but you! If there is a Julia Gonzales, I thank her. And I thank you either way for what you’re doing. I think all of you women are awfully great! Best wishes.

Thanks Julia. My daughter bought me this special gift for Christmas. I’m so happy she chose KKI to purchase this awesome cap from and I’m proud of her for reaching out to special causes that benefit beautiful people such as yourself. May God bless and good luck in achieving your dreams.

Thank you so much. I received a hat from my mom for Christmas. We saw it in the store and I was so happy because I had been wanting a hat exactly like the one I got. It has ear flaps and is white and grey striped. It is so soft and not itchy at all. Good luck and thank you again!
Love,
Zoe

Julia,
My 6 year old daughter received the blue and white knit hat for her Birthday from her cousin which you made. It’s such an adorable hat and knowing that you and other ladies take the time to make these items is so appreciated. My daughter will get good use out of this gift on colder days thanks to you.
Thank you!
