Default Blankets of Love

Hey everyone. I know that this is a very late day to post. However, it is a great cause.

This is a comunity drive to raise Baby Blankets. What happens with these blankets is they go out to very needy infants. They are given to infants that have been born addicted to drugs or HIV positive, and also infants that have been recent victims of fire, or something that we all understand, flood victims. THey go out to familys that are much less fortunate than most of us.

This is a very good charity, and I have participated in it four 6 years now. My best friends adopted three of these children that had been born addicted to drugs. One of them was born addicted to heroin, and another was addicted to meth, and the other was born with defects related to alcohol abuse.

In the hospitals and care centers these infants need warm blankets and there is often a very large shortage of them. And they wrape these infants in the blankets that are donated. Most of these infants cannot be any where near a draft of any kind. They have horrible Tremors and are very tromitized. Some don't make it through the withdral stages and the ones that do can wait months for placement with a family. These children are often forgoten and a warm blanket from a thoughtful person is mostly a gift of love wraping them in the warth that they so desperatly need.

There is a event that I am attending on Sunday the 19 of November that kicks off this drive and it goes for one week. I would really like to take some blankets with me on Sunday to kick off the drive. I personally am donating 10 brand new blankets to this very worthy cause as well as donating a large sum of money to help.

If you would like to donate a blanket then please come to Toyota and Scion of Lake City and drop off a blanket to Victor in Scion.

THe blankets do not have to be brand new just clean and with no holes in them.

And once again I am really sorry for the late notice but this is a very good cause guys and I would love to say that I am donating these blankets on behalf of the Scion Comunity.


Sincerely,

Victor Thompson

Right...I have to agree.

I'm slammed with the holidays in addition to the Toy Run.

I can't help out with this but I'm going to try to drop off something.
