70 blankets! In just 2 short weeks the ladies of Lower DelMarVa have made 70 blankets which are already on their way to kids of Haiti. I was fortunate to be able to give 2 young Haitian girls their own warm quilts. These girls were adopted by a family in Glendive MT where I am working for a few weeks. The other 68 blankets made on DelMarVa have gone to UMCOR ( United Methodist Committee on Relief), who will ship and distribute them on Haiti. Much of this effort is due to the energy of Barbara Williams and Patti Woodhurst. Thanks to all of you!
In general, our Project Linus blankets go to kids on DelMarVa, then occasionally to other parts of the US where there is a special need. The Haiti disaster is so big that many of us felt like the kids there would really be comforted by a blanket. Please do not forget that we are still trying to serve all the hospitals and organizations locally, as we have done for the last 6 years.
