Hi Karen, thanks for your message.We send out quilts to Romania through the 'Joy' organization they support an orphanage which cares for abandoned children. Their web site is www.joyworld.org.uk They have also started to care for the elderly,they came across a home for the elderly who were living with little bedding in sub zero temperatures.They do take blankets to them as well as clothes but we made some very colourful quilts with samples given to us by a very kind lady who has a soft furnishing business. Some of the samples are really sumptious so we thought why shouldn't they have a bit of luxury to keep them warm. My church is also sending shoe box gifts to them.I spoke today to the lady who goes out there regularly and she told me that many of the elderly retired people get a pension of just £4 a week and the food prices are on a par with the U.K. Thank you to all of you that replied,helpful as always.God bless,Letty.
