Feedback from some of the projects we have done...
"I delivered the boxes of blankets to Liz (the Director) and she was overjoyed. She asked that we send a BIG thank you to you all. They LOVE the blankets and use them for everything you could possibly imagine....... I was sure to give them hugs from YOU!! Again, thank you so much!!"
-- Glenn & Ame Barnett, Crossroads Orphanage, South Africa
"The colors were perfect. The people here LOVE color. I think maybe because their lives are so serious and dreary. The color lifts their spirits... The babies will be warm this winter (June and July) - the package arrived in plenty of time... Thank you, also, for the cute animals and mini blankets for our kids. They loved them and sleep with them at night."

"I would like to express our deepest gratitude for your donation of blankets. We host 80 abandoned and abused children (0 to 18 years old), in 10 modest little wooden houses. We hope to deliver the rest of your donation to a day-care center "Casa Nido"... in the community of Las Turbinas, in Lo Espejo... (which) is nothing more than a group of lean-to shacks with no floor, no electricity, and no water. 300 families live there in extreme poverty. Diseases and illnesses are prevalent all year due to exremes in temperature and lack of sanitation. Casa Nido is one of the few refuges for children and babies who live there in exreme poverty. Again, thanks so much for your contribution."

"I want to thank you for your generous donation of hand-made blankets and teddy bears as well as two turkey dinners. Your generous gifts benefited the dedicated fathers in our Daddy's Here program. Daddy's Here works with men who want to be active and involved in the lives of their children. The holidays can be a challenging time of year for them -- as many do not have extra money for gifts and special holiday meals."
