WHY Project Linus

To get ready for "Make a Blanket Day" I thought it would be beneficial to learn WHY I make these blankets.

When I started making blankets it was merely to have something to do. Then My sister introduced me to this project. Well it was something to do with my blankets when i was done with them.

Then I got sick. In the beginning of my illness I was hospitalized. it was in a hospital an hour away from home. people i didn't know, in a town i didn't recognize. barely knowing how sick I was. I was lonesome and I was VERY afraid. I was also nearly 39 years old. Late one night (i had trouble sleeping) I got to thinking about Kids that had cancer. Kids that had Hodgkins disease just like me. Little kids. How scared were they? I mean if I were that scared, how terrified would a five year old be?

That moment is when i realized How important this charity is.

Linus blankets are only distributed to kids 18 and under. So my sister Who is also a blanketeer Stopped making Linus blankets to make one just for me. (I had a special Blanket since i was what BORN?) to see my blanket look here And even though i did not get my blanket in the hospital like a linus child would, I still knew the impact of what it could do.

I Make Linus blankets for all the scared little kids.... because I know
