Dear Friends and Family,
As we come upon the one year anniversary of our sweet boys’ angel day, we have been working on a service project and would love your help!
An organization called Newborns in Need provided our family with an invaluable service, giving us baby blankets to swaddle our sweet babies in during our short time with them and then keep as remembrance. They also provided clothing and blankets to bury them in. In our darkest hour this Christ like service was more comfort than a mother could ever express.
Newborns in Need has told us at this time they are in dire need of blankets such as the ones we were given. There are 4 different ways you can help.
1. Forward this blog to someone you know.
2. Donate fabric or thread.
3. Make an 18" x 22" blanket either with fabric you have purchased or with fabric we give you.
4. Donate money to go toward purchasing fabric for us to make the blankets. Any amount is helpful. Even a few dollars can purchase enough fabric for one blanket.

Please let me know if you can help us be doing any of these. It is greatly appreciated. Our goal is to donate 31 blankets for their angel day, October 31st. You can contact me at emidinkl@yahoo.com
Thank you in advance for your service. You can never know what it means to our family.
Warmly,
Roger, Emily & Morris
