From A Family
July 1, 2009
Dear Project Linus Volunteers,
Thank you for the blanket we received from your organization. Our newborn son was hospitalized at Children's Mercy just after Valentine's Day in respiratory distress due to RSV. It is never an easy time when your child is ill, but we were grateful for the comfort of the knitted Tweety Bird blanket that I could wrap around us while I held my son. It made things more homey (as close as you can get while in the hospital), and I was touched that there were generous people out there like you who thought of children and their families.
Thank you for the warmth your gift brought to us, both literal and figurative. Fortunately our son is doing better. He will always have the blanket to remind him and us that there are people who give of themselves and care even if they don't know you.
Sincerely,
A Family in Platte City, MO
