True Stories of 2 Blankets and 2 Little Girls

Our new volunteer Kathie told us this touching story about how she connected with My Very Own Blanket.

Taylor, age 10, was a child in my fifth grade class. She brought in a very special blanket to show me that she received one night. She said the sheriff came at midnight to get her and her mother out of their apartment. Her mother said, 'Grab your hairbrush.' More

Lisa at the South Carolina Foster Parent Association sent us this story about the power of one small blanket.

We received MVOB blankets to add to duffel bags made up for children entering foster care.

This little girl received one of your blankets. She was a baby when she received it; she is now 2 1/2. More
