Blanket
Brigade for Bay
I
will use the term "blanket" to mean quilt, blanket, throw, sheets, pillows,
etc. Anything you would use on the bed or to wrap in to keep warm.
As you all know, winter is here and so many on the
I am on a mission to get blankets to the people of the MS Gulf
Coast. Even if only one blanket can be sent, that is one child that will not go
cold this winter, probably more since there will be multiple people sleeping in
one bed.
Please do what you can to help.

Fabric.com has graciously donated fabric to our Blanket Brigade in
support of our efforts. I would like to thank them for their contribution.
Through donations, I was able to give the BSL police/firemen a U-haul
TV box
With me having family in BSL and Waveland, my Sis works at Garden
Park Hospital and knows people from all the areas, I think we can get things to
people who need them. We have been thus far.
Blankets can be
mailed to:
My Sister & Brother-in-law:
Michael & Theresa Kirk
313 Ballentine Street
Bay
or
Mom:
Irma Wheelden
315 Ballentine Street
Bay
Please
send items to my sister at this time and hold off from sending more items to
Mom. I think she is a bit overwhelmed with everything and has many things of
her own she must take care of right now. The response has been wonderful and I
thank each person who has contributed and/or passed on the information to
others.
Thank
You to the following for their contributions - click here for the list
If you are in the area they are welcome to stop by Mom's and check
on how things are going. There will probably be several people around since
there are 2 FEMA trailers set up in the 2 yards there and Mom is in her house
(house next door needs serious renovations that will take place)
Financial donations will be accepted to purchase bedding, but not
required or requested as I will not ask for people to send me money and
"trust" me. That is so lame. But if you don't want to personally mail
a blanket, Wal-Mart and many other stores do sell online and ship for you.
Only we can help the MS Gulf Coast, one day at a time, and
one blanket at a time.
