'My Heart Is So Filled': Yarn For Vets' Kari Yarke Receives Big Yarn Donations After WCCO Story

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- Earlier this week, WCCO told you the story of Twin Cities veteran Kari Yarke.

She was injured while serving in the United States Army, and was treated at a VA Hospital.

Yarke appreciates the care she receives at the VA so much that she decided to use her love of crocheting to give back.
