About This Cause
The mantra of the Founder 25 years ago was…”if we all do a little, together we can accomplish a lot”! My Very Own Blanket has grown to share that little vision…as a simple volunteer experience, for everyone to be involved a little, that would then accomplish A LOT... across the globe! Blankets and quilts that are made is an incredibly personal, tangible item, that will bring the toddlers, youth and teens receiving this gift, something they can hang onto…when so much in their world is uncertain and falling away…this simple blanket and the gift of timeto make it...will be what they can hang onto…forever. Each blanket or quilt has a special tag sewn on stating "A special gift of love made just for you"! It has a place for the individual receiving the blanket a place to write "their name" in permanent marker! This defines ownership and who it will forever belong to. It speaks as they read the handwritten name of the "Blanket Angel" who handmade it, that someone truly cared enough to make it for them "who doesn't even know me". And lastly, it send an uplifting special note of love and hope they can read and hang onto every night and every day when they may be feeling alone or sad in the uncertain circumstanstes they now find themselves living in. We may not be able to "see or personally meet" these children and teens in their place of need... we would not necessarily want people to see us in that place either…but after 25 years we KNOW we ARE making a difference! 25 years of growth, internationally, is proof, that opportunity to give and receive love is being fulfilled. Thank you for helping us spread this love…in lives that so much need to see and feel loved. ❤️❤️
