A Lion Made With Love — Has Been Won by ID Gary Steele... and nearly $5000 has been raised for LCIF
This little felted lion began as a simple bundle of wool…
but with hours of shaping, stitching, and love, it became something truly special. Now it carries a bigger purpose: helping support LCIF, an organization that brings hope, relief, and compassion to people who need it most.
On July 21, 2026, Leo was drawn by one lucky supporter and soon will be packed up and sent to his new home - click here to find out more.
Thank you to every person who participated you are part of the heart behind it.
Thank you for helping this little lion make a big difference in the lives of people via LCIF
