I just want to tell you that you are a really special person to care so much about these elderly people. I think you are totally awesome in a great way. I think you are a champion! More power to you!!!! I have some nursing homes around here that I think I will check into and see if I could make a couple of blankets (I'm slow) to help a few of the residents out. And if I could give some of my sweaters to some of the gals. You are on the right path, straight to heaven!
