Making Blankets By. Brittany Tu
For the month of January, we made no-sew tie blankets for Children’s Miracle Network. Children’s Miracle Network gives these blankets to children in the hospitals in Amarillo. It is important for us to make these blankets because not many people or organizations make these blankets anymore. When we delivered blankets to children in the hospital earlier this year, the nurses told us that they ran out of these blankets quickly, because the blankets mean so much to the kids who receive them. The blankets add a personal touch to an otherwise drab hospital room. Plus, these blankets are fun and easy to make.

The ELIMINATE Project A Major Emphasis Project
UNCEF and the K-family have partnered together to eliminate maternal neonatal tetanus. Thousands of innocent babies and mothers die from tetanus die every year. When these babies have tetanus, they experience painful convulsions and are extremely sensitive to light and touch. Mothers can’t even hold their babies to comfort them because it would cause their babies even more pain. UNICEF and the K-family work together to raise funds to help vaccinate mothers, thereby protecting them and their future babies. It only takes $1.80 to vaccinate a mother, and maternal and neonatal tetanus has been eliminated from 8 countries so far.
Don’t forget to do your part and trick0-or-treat for UNICEF this month. We do many fundraisers for UNICEF throughout the year, and this is our biggest by far. Help a mother and her future babies today!
