He
learned how to crochet while in prison. Suffering from an addiction to opioids, Stapleton had robbed a pharmacy.
After
serving a three-year term, he began crocheting
caps for chemotherapy patients. This
was in honor of his father, who had
succumbed
to bladder cancer in 2006.
Stapleton
now ships his caps “around the world,
free of charge.” He often includes comforting
goodies such as candy or lotion. When
praise comes his way, he merely replies: I’m just a guy making hats.
