Colorado 911 Flood Victims Need Our Help - 10 Quilts Needed

The holidays are fast approaching, you are busy quilting, crafting or sewing up a storm, no time for any more projects.  How about sending a card or a small care package with your favorite things...chocolates, gum, gift card, stationary, hand sanitizer, cologne, soap, toothbrushes, toothpaste, etc.?

When was the last time you had no home to go to? I once lived in my car and remember how it felt to hide I had no home to live in.  I had a full time job but didn't qualify for housing for my sons and I, so while they lived with their dad, I scrimped and saved and slept in my car at night.  I showered at work, ate at work, went to the laundromat and spent time at the library reading.

Now imagine you were homeless, not because you didn't have any money, but because a devastating flood hit your area and ruined your home.  All your quilting, sewing and crafting supplies were gone. Then, you woke up and realized it was a nightmare.

However, the first responders who are still working at their job answering 911 calls, are awake and they are still living the nightmare because their homes are gone or in ruins.

Please, won't you reach out to one of these families in need?  We only have a few this time, so I think we can get them done quickly:

Kristen Owen-green

Aaron-age 12-Black

Ryan-age 10-Dark Purple

Hayden-age 7-Dark Blue

 

Diane Webber-Green

Grown children

 

Jan Carpenter-neutral colors **Adopted by Michelle M.**

No children

 

Sue Perney-unknown color

One high school aged son

 

Kelly Doherty-unknown color

No children

 

Mary Thacker-unknown color

No children

As always, please let me know which person you would like to adopt and I will send your further information and place that person as adopted!
