What Happens to Your Donated Blanket?
|
|
After you donate a blanket to Project Linus there are several things that happen before the blanket is given to a child.
First, we will double check to ensure that there are no pins left in the fabric, no seams that have come undone, no embellishments that might come off, etc. If need be, we will wash the blanket.
After we are confident that the blanket is safe for a child, we sew on a Project Linus label. This label has an image of Linus with his blanket (can’t reproduce it here for copyright reasons) and says “Made especially for you by Project Linus”.
Finally, we attach a tag that on one side has a poem written by a PL coordinator in Michigan (read the poem below) and on the other side the first name and last initial of the blanketeer. It is now ready to go to a child!
I can sit here in my room at night
When you hold this blanket in your arms
So dry your tears and smile a smile
Pam Braden Flushing/Michigan
With Tender Loving Care
I can't be there to hold your hand,
I can't be there to hug you,
I can't be there to dry a tear,
But there is one thing I can do.
And think of you out there,
And make a blanket just for you
With tender loving care.
And close your eyes real tight,
You can feel the love I tucked inside
When I made this late one night.
You aren't alone, you see.
You have this special blanket,
You have a part of me.
