"Er fod yr holl beth yn erchyll rydyn ni wedi dangos brwydr gryf yn ei herbyn... Rydw i wedi bod yn creu crochet i'w gosod o gwmpas Bedwas i helpu bobl i wenu a fod yn hapus ac i codi calon trwy yr holl beth. Mae ymateb wedi bod yn un bendigedig a rydw i wedi dechrau pobl eraill i creu pethau celf i'w rhannu o gwmpas hefyd". Karen Evans, 19.5.2020.
