Today my dad announced that his church secured a shipping container and was taking donations to be sent to Ukrainian refugees in Europe. I told some neighbors, and we all scrambled to gather what things we could to help. I donated these baby blankets that I had made. My mom asked if I were sure that I wanted to do that. Sure, ’cause now I have an excuse to make more!
Years ago, as an exercise, I read a children’s book in Chinese. It was about Anna from the Ukraine, and it followed the story of her scarf. Her childhood scarf moved with her through her life…sometimes functioning as her babushka, later as a picnic blanket when dating her soon-to-be-husband. Later it was her shawl as she and her husband moved to America. When they started their family, it became the baby’s blanket. Eventually the scarf was so worn that the now-grown daughter made it into a quilt that she used for her own baby. It makes me wonder if one of the modest blankets donated in the coming months might someday have a similarly interesting story to tell.
Would of the puppies in Europe like some of my baths? I would gladly donate them.

THIS BROUGHT TEARS TO MY EYES !!
YOUR HEART IS DO BIG. THOSE WHO HAVE NOTHING WILL HAVE YOUR TREASURES
THANKOU THNKYOU THANKYOU. AND YOUR DADS CHURCH
LOVE AND HUGSSSSSSSSSSSS
Like everyone, I wish I could do even more. Hopefully the blankets will bring some comfort to a little baby or a puppy in need. ❤️💕. (Yes, my dad’s church does some awesome work. They really live their faith.)
I’m sure they’ll go to people who’ll love and appreciate them
I hope so. I pray that things settle down so these folks can have normal lives again. 💕
I suspect they will become treasured keepsakes. “Good on ya” as the Aussies say.
That’s a wonderful idea. It’s so hard to see so much need and feel so helpless. No gesture is small.
Like everyone, I wish I could do a hundred times more. ❤️
Bless you beautiful heart and soul
Thank you for feeling kindly toward us. ❤️
Those beautiful blankets will bring comfort to those who receive them. You are a generous and kind person.
Aw, thank you.

PS…Coop says he will donate his baths, groomings, and hair-brushings!

HA! 😀
