"Anything is possible if you put your mind to it" might just be the motto of 86-year-old retiree Ed Moseley, who despite his age and abilities has been gifting handmade knitted caps to premature babies.
When staff at Dogwood Forest Assisted Living in Georgia asked residents to help makes caps for premature babies, Moseley decided he wanted to volunteer - despite the fact that he didn't know how to knit.
"I've never knitted in my life," Moseley told InsideEdition.com. "[But] corporate said it's a nice project for keeping the old people out of trouble."
Moseley spoke to his daughter about his wish to start knitting and she bought him a knitting kit with an instruction book.
As a former engineer, Moseley was able to pick up the practice and was soon creating tiny hats within three hours.
"I could watch TV at the same time and knit," Moseley said.
The determined grandfather and cancer patient had the original target of creating 150 caps. Within a couple of weeks he had created 55 caps himself, as well as inspiring other residents.
"We started filling up my couch with caps, and then all of a sudden, caps started coming from various places," he said.
Soon enough, 300 hats were delivered to Northside Hospital in Georgia in time for National Preemie Awareness Day.
Though a tiny, seemingly fragile hat may seem like a small gesture, it is very appreciated by families with premmie babies.
With his new self-taught hobby Moseley hopes the retirement home can send 30 new caps to the hospital each month, making us remember that, "when there is a will, there is a way."
