Two True Stories of Blankets and Little Girls

11/9/2021

0 Comments

 
Our new volunteer Kathie told us this touching story about how she heard about My Very Own Blanket.
 
Taylor, age 10, was a child in my fifth grade class. She brought in a very special blanket to show me that she received one night. She said the sheriff came at midnight to get her and her mother out of their apartment. Her mother said, 'Grab your hairbrush.'

​The brush was all she had until the sheriff gave her a blanket from My Very Own Blanket. Taylor was so touched that a stranger made this for her. I could tell that it was well loved and used every night. What a treasure for a scared little girl! Thank you for all you do to help children in care feel loved!  


We are very pleased that one of our blankets helped to comfort Taylor during a frightening time, and we welcome Kathie as a new Blanket Angel!

Here’s another story about the effect of one small blanket, sent to us by Lisa at the South Carolina Foster Parent Association.
 
We received a donation from you a year or so ago and used the blankets to add to duffel bags made up for children entering foster care.

Below is a picture of a little girl who received one of your blankets. She was a baby when she received it; she is now 2½. This blanket went with her to her "forever home," and she is still using it. Thank you for all that you do for our children!
