NOTES FROM THE DIRECTOR:  Sometimes people underestimate the work they do. I believe this to be true with your blanket makers. These are a few examples of how the blankets have been received for our children.

We use them in our DEAR Program: Drop everything and read.  The blanket and a book arrive with a CASA/GAL who needs to build a relationship with the child.  These are children often frightened, feeling lost, alone and unwanted.  One family in particular had 5 children who were voracious readers living with tremendous mental health and physical challenges from both parents.  I would come to visit and find the children wrapped in their very own blanket curled up reading a book and escaping for a short time to another more pleasant world.  These blankets truly offer a sense of comfort.
 
We also add a blanket to the Launchpad basket we provide for a child aging out of care as they move on to college.  The knowledge that someone took the time to care means a lot to these kids. They are the teenagers, the ones no one wanted.  In their minds we just don’t understand.
