I'm getting more and more excited about this new project direction. I'm really hopeful there will be more positive responses here, even ONE person can start the ball rolling! Just read your local news and reach out to the reporter for contact information.
Come on folks!

I commend you on your journey. There are so many "needing this quilt of hugs" whether it is the injured, or slain soldier or the family.. There is such a need for this types of programs. I encourage everyone to open your hearts and send a quilt to a Soldier.. The Soldier has given so much , a quilt is the least we can do for them.

Keep up the good work Jan in VA!!
