I just have to express my sincere gratitude to Binkeez. These blankets mean so much to us. It seems so silly to even say that about a blanket. But it’s the warmth, the comfort, the reminder of home, the feeling of hope, and the softest snuggle ever. I was wrapped up in one for 9 hours as we waited for Ev in the OR yesterday. And Ev went back to the OR with hers. Thank you for all you do for so many families. You are making a difference
She is a rockstar. And handling this surgery like the queen she is as always. Binkeez must come with us.
We need your help again here at VCMS.
You may remember meeting my friend J during your last visit. He is now in high school, growing taller and more handsome by the day and still uses his blanket frequently. We currently have two female students that we feel would benefit from their own Binkeez love. Both of these ladies are non-verbal and enjoy exploring their world through textures and sound. It would mean a great deal if we could get blankets for them as well. JoJo is a fashionista with a love of all things SHREK and ¨boho¨. K is a spunky 7th grader who loves music, rainbow colors, and sparkles.
I am working to get you the names of their conditions to demonstrate medical need.
We are grateful for all that you do!
Love, Stacey
They arrived - and they are BEAUTIFUL! I can’t wait to share these with families this coming week.
We are truly appreciative of this donation. Thank you so much!
I absolutely love hearing how every department has been touched by Binkeez. and I am so honored to get to work with you on all of it! As always , thank you Sue!

Looking forward to receiving the next shipment. The Binkeez blankets are so comforting and appreciated by the patients that receive them. Childlife Specialist at a leading Children's Hospital.
Thank you so much for sending our sweet Kyla Jo this beautiful blanket. She just loves snuggling up with it!
I want to tell you my daughter LOVES her blanket! Her neurologist gave it to her on a very long and emotional day of appointments just a few weeks ago. I’d love to support your business and buy a blanket for her but am terrible with technology and can’t figure out how to buy a custom blanket (do you make custom blankets?) Thank you so much for your time and help,
Carrie
Binkeez for Comfort really has given my son exactly that--comfort. His excitement started when he received mail that was just for him, and it started to grow as he helped to open up what was inside of the package. The blanket is perfect for Hudson, as he loves all things safari. He loves to point to all of the animals and have mama say the sounds each animal makes. Hudson takes his blanket to bed with him and "pets" it goodnights since it is so soft! He also likes to squeeze it when he has his hospital visits at Riley Children's Hospital for his Retinoblastoma. This organization was so easy to contact and has had amazing communication since. We are so thankful that Binkeez was able to make our son feel so special!
My 2-year-old son Aiden was recently diagnosed with leukemia. Binkeez for Comfort provided us with a beautiful soft blanket with the most adorable print (foxes, bears and campers), that he loves and takes everywhere. It has kept him warm and cozy at the hospital, the outpatient infusion center and at home. Many thanks to Binkeez for Comfort for making our #leukemiawarrior(s) more comfortable on their journey.
Jacob received his binkeez this morning and he’s not gone anywhere without me. He keeps it very close by and keeps telling me it feels like he’s hugging the clouds!
It’s a much welcomed gift, hopefully treasured for many years to come - and will certainly outdo any toy!
Thank you again so much!
We have so many pictures! It is our favorite blanket and we've been using it for every treatment since the day you gave it to us.
Hi! I hope you are well! I just wanted to thank you for Nico’s ornament this year! I love how personal to you they were. He did a wonderful job, they’re beautiful!
I Just wanted to say thank you from my heart! This sweet angelversary card I received in the mail just now made my entire night! ❤️ After all these years, to know you guys still think of him and my family means more than you could ever know. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Again, thank you and Binkeez For Comfort so very much!!!!!!
Hi Susan, I wanted to let you know that I happened to be in the resource room at Boston Children’s today when a box of Binkeez was delivered. The coordinator squealed with glee and said “These are the BEST!!!” You continue to make a difference. Thank you and merry Christmas
We are so thankful for wonderful organizations like Binkeez. Binkeez has been providing hospital approved blankets for children all over the world. We truly are stronger together.
Our son Bradley was initially diagnosed with Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis in 2017 and completed treatment in 2019. Bradley began having hip and back pain in October 2021 and after many scans it was determined there was a large mass on his pelvis. He had his biopsy at CHOA and on 12/15/2021 we found out that his LCH had unfortunately returned. It is extremely rare for LCH to return after being in remission greater than a year and even more rare for it to not return in the area it was previously…which was in his cranial area below his pituitary gland. Bradley is currently undergoing chemotherapy after having his 2nd port placed on 1/11/2022. He has chemo 5 days straight for one week out of the month for 6 cycles (6 months). Binkeez for Comfort shipped our son a gorgeous blanket that he absolutely loves!!! It brought him so much joy opening the package!! They were so quick to reach out and he received this generous gift so quickly! What an amazing company!!!
Very easy to work with Binkeez. Quick shipping. We are so grateful. Binkeez blanket brings comfort for my little guy. It is nice to have something that is his very own and special.
Hi there. My daughter was recently hospitalized. She was gifted a Binkeez blanket while there. She was having a rough night missing her family and pets at home. This blanket is amazing. Thank you for providing comfort to patients when they need it the most.
A very special thank you to Binkeez for Comfort! Our daughter Gabby who was recently diagnosed with Brain Cancer absolutely loves her Binkeez blanket :-). She takes it to treatment with her daily then comes home and lays under it. We are so thankful for such an amazing organization that provides love and comfort to children that are suffering from all types of diseases.
Hello ,
Binkeez for Comfort are great they put on a smile on my niece face once she received her blanket.As you all know kids with cancer get to go to hospital often unfortunately so this is a great cause as they can take one comfort,that one cozy soft blanket with them everywhere.My niece is fighting Dipg/brain tumor since late March this year and she is a real warrior.Thank you Binkeez for Comfort so much her Binkeez started her journey to beating cancer like a kid.Thank you
Binkeez for Comfort sent us the best blanket did our little girl. It only is it the softest, but somehow they even knew which colors were in her nursery. We can’t wait to get out of the hospital and finish up chemo so we can bring our little girl home.
My son was diagnosed with stage 4 neuroblastoma and we were/are scared. Sometimes it’s the little things, like a hug or a kind gesture that make a difference in those hard moments. Having a Binkeez for Comfort blanket is that hug. I can curl up with my baby and nurse him with a soft blanket that was made just for him with sharks and fishes swimming happily; honoring his love of the water.
Ellie was diagnosed with a rare form of childhood cancer, neuroblastoma, in Fort Worth this past fall. The local Facebook group mentioned how great the blanket was they received from Binkeez. We were able to secure one for Ellie and it is amazing. It was sent extremely quick and the quality is amazing. Hands down the sorted fabric I have ever touched. Thank you so much Binkeez!!!!
This organization was highly recommended to me by another family with a child battling cancer. Applying for the blanket was very easy, and Timmy is absolutely thrilled with his new blanket. They tried to tailor it to his interests and the quality and softness of the blanket was wonderful. It makes me happy to see him enjoy this and be comforted by it. Highly recommend this nonprofit!
As a mom of multiple total care daughters, comfort is one of the most important things I think about. What will make my girls feel safe, not leave marks, and look adorable. Binkeez has sent 3 of my beautiful ladies blankets. And we have also purchased several. They go above and beyond for the kids. I am so glad we have binkeez in our lives
My son Corey has been super blessed with a blanket from Binkeez.
Corey was diagnosed with Metastatic Osteosarcoma Oct 2019. He has went through a limb salvage surgery and a double lung surgery. Corey has completed in chemo and await to see next steps.
Thank you Binkee for making my child smile
Susan Posterro and binkeez for comfort has remembered my guy every year since I’ve lost him. Just got this sweet little angel bear remembering Cash. Thank you
First off thank you for what you guys do!. It gives families something special just for their kiddos ... not just any , our hero’s. We take Kannons binkeez everywhere we go knowing that out there someone else is sending comfort from afar. We were honored when Rachael burrows said one was on the way!. Since then we have had a few friends get binkeez as well for their lil warriors... it makes tough days a lil better.
Hi Mina didn't feel good the other night, she was nauseous do to brain pressure, her Binkeez gave her comfort, and made her feel safe and warm
I love making a difference in someone's life. It makes my heart full and thank the Founder of Binkeez for letting me be a part of this amazing mission.
Hello there! So, my little guy Oliver received a binkeez a few years ago when he was about a year old. He is 3.5 years old now and his Binkeez blankie which he lovingly calls his "Kiki" is his favorite blankie he has still to this day. I am reaching out to you to see if the fabric that is used is still the same? I have tried to find him a back up blankie with the same material and just cannot find him one he likes as much. He is obsessed with the texture of his Binkeez! He loves it. I feel badly asking, but am wondering if we could apply for a new Binkeez? His is getting pretty worn due to daily use.
Ollys Binkeez has been in the operating room as many times as Olly has. His Binkeez has comforted him in the ICU, has spent 2 birthdays in the hospital with him, has traveled with us to meet a new team of doctors across states. then made that same trip with us many many times again. It really has been his most favorite comfort item he has.
Well we think y’all are amazing and for a medical mama to see what you are doing for our kids it touches my heart. Colton truly drives himself off this stuff and that’s what’s his socks came about. This last week was so hard for everyone. And for us came new diagnosis and hardship that we lost a bit of our motivation. Working hard on putting all our feelings into doing what we do best! Thank you all again.
Volunteering for causes that spread love and light to brave children and their families holds a special place in my heart. When I learned about Binkeez for Comfort years ago, I've since witnessed generosity that far surpasses tangible gifts — the support given touches recipients at a visceral level. The blankets are not only hand curated and crafted, but they're created out of an abundance of love. Children facing unthinkable circumstances receive warmth and security, a priceless commodity during uncertain times. Today, serving as a Board Member, I am humbled to play a very small part in a mission that plays a very big role by providing comfort to those who need it the most.
If you are looking for an organization to support this year I can 1000% recommend Binkeez for Comfort. They have been amazing and care about the recipients past and present. They make the most amazing blankets. Manual received one while inpatient and after he passed I ordered one with unicorns of course. It is our favorite blanket.
Our daughter received her Binkeez two years ago before one of her major surgeries. It has been a continuous source of comfort since then. She says it is as soft as a unicorn's nose. We are very grateful for this gift of love. It is so much more than a blanket.
I received Michelle's ornament from Binkeez and it is absolutely beautiful. Holidays are so hard and Michelle only had one Christmas during her short life. Michelle passed away from cancer on July 2, 2008 at only 17 months old. Thank you for never forgetting her and honoring her memory in such a loving and beautiful way! ❤
Our daughter received a beautiful Binkee after her leukemia diagnosis. It is extremely soft with cute little llamas on it and she now sleeps with it every night. We are extremely grateful for organizations like Binkeez for Comfort!!
This is a fantastic organization! Helping medically fragile children smile and stay warm. Thank you so so much!
Jay Jay has been diagnosed with many disorders. P.A.N.D.A.S./P.A.N.S. & autoimmune encephalitis are the disorders he's suffering the most from. He's like a prisoner trapped in his own body with his brain always feeling like it's on fire.
These disorders cause many life affecting issues. Horrible debilitating Tics, anxiety, compulsions, insomnia, irrational fears, separation anxiety, regression, involuntary movements and behavior issues are just some of the things that happen to him.
When he gets sick, he doesn't get normal symptoms. The issues above occur because his brain becomes inflamed by being attacked.
Jay Jay is receiving IVIG treatments right now to help "fix" his broken immune system.
Thanks to this amazing group of people at Binkeez, Jay Jay received an amazing, thoughtful, loving, calming gift. He received a blanket that is more than just a blanket to him, it offers him comfort and protection, especially during his hard times and his treatments.
Jay Jay's Journey is his page on Facebook to follow more on his story!

I put in a request for a Binkeez blanket for my grandson, Brandon ("Beemer"), who is recovering from a bone marrow transplant, and suffering graft vs host disease complications. Binkeez asked what his interests were, and then sent a perfect blanket, with dinosaurs. Beemer loves the blanket, and brought it this morning to his weekly lab appointment that requires a needle stick to draw blood. Binkeez has a wonderful mission, to bring comfort to those who are suffering medically.
Binkeez is amazing! Turn around time from the time of request to the time it was received was great. Absolutely the softest blanket I have ever felt! My child loves it and sleeps with it nightly! Thank you Binkeez for everything you do for these children!!

Binkeez for Comfort has provided my daughter with her ultimate comfort object. She was hospitalized for a long time, and since her liver transplant, her Binkeez has been her favorite thing. She won’t sleep without it, and we are so thankful to Binkeez for Comfort for such a high quality and beautiful blanket!
Our son Charles De Vries was diagnosed with B-ALL leukemia on September 5, 2018. Our lives changed for ever. We are thankful and grateful to our Almighty God for being with Charles every step of the way. Charles has been doing well so far with the treatment. He is our superhero. I love when foundations like Binkeez send love to our son. He loooves his new blanket. He was so excited to receive this blanket!!!
We are grateful to Binkeez for their love!! God bless them!!!!
When my younger son was little, Binkeez sent him this wonderful blanket! Ciarlo was born with Spina Bifida and hydrocephalus. He has had 10 surgeries and countless appointments, scans and X-rays in hi 9 short years and his blanket from Binkeez for comfort has accompanied him to it all! 4 years ago when Ciarlo’s big brother Dominic was diagnosed, at the age of 7 1/2, with Glioblastoma (an always fatal brain cancer) Ciarlo sent his special blanket along for Dominic to use at the hospital. Within just a few days, the wonderful staff at Binkeez sent Dominic his very own blanket! Dominic’s blanket accompanied him to EVERY chemo, radiation treatment and surgery/hospital stay during his 9 month battle. After Dominic passed away, Binkeez sent a beautiful wood carving with Dominicks name on it and named a blanket for Dominic. They sent us a small one for Ciarlo (then just 6) and a larger sized blanket for us to use. They have since also named a blanket for Ciarlo too! We all sleep with our blankets every night, they are no longer just for the hospital! They bring us comfort every night. For the first 3 Christmases after Dominic passed away, the staff at Binkeez also sent us special ornaments in Dominic’s memory that have so touched our hearts! We are so thankful for this wonderful nonprofit and the difference they are making for medically needy families!
As Eleanor battles cancer every little bit helps during the tough times. Binkeez for Comfort went above and beyond by providing our little girl with a comfortable blanket. Her big brother likes to use it too and she doesn't mind sharing. I can't say enough about the generosity of Binkeez for Comfort.
Leah sleeps like an angel with her Binkeez Love!! Thank you so much. What y'all do is beautiful. God bless!!
I had the privilege to be part of a gifting experience at St Jude. I saw first hand what a big difference something as simple as a blanket can make. I was beyond impressed with the attention and care this organization and it’s team showed during every step to execute this mission. After having the opportunity to work with them and spend time with this team they have now become one of my favorite nonprofits!
My son Kingston was diagnosed with a life threatening liver disease called Biliary Atresia, and at 10 months old has gone through more than most adults. He had a surgery (Kasai procedure) that attempted (and failed) to give his liver a chance to drain. He had a liver transplant, and is doing great, but had spent collectively about 3 months in the hospital. I’m so excited about his Binkeez blanket, that was donated to us. It is SO beautiful and soft, and he loves it ! Spending so much time in hospital, anything that gives us comfort is so very important. What a beautiful company! Thank you so much!
Beautiful concept! Quick delivery and amazing communication from the company! We came home to our blanket after a hospital stay and it was such a lovely surprise to come home to. We’re in the hospital often unfortunately and this will for sure be on our list of things to bring when we go!
Thank you Binkeez for Comfort - Anthony received his Binkeez Blanket, he loved it so much that he wanted to go to bed right away: "It is soooo cozy, mom!". This blanket gives him so much warmth and comfort. We can’t thank you enough for this wonderful gift and we can feel the love that was put into making it. Thank you!
Deki is a high energy go getter with ALL Leukemia. Lately his meds have been stripping him of all of that playful energy and all he wants is to snuggle up with a blanket and watch TV. This blanket will help him be comfortable and happy while he is down for the count. Thank you, Binkeez!
My children and I had the opportunity to volunteer our time to cut 120 yards of fabric to make blankets for a special mission with Gamerosity for children all across USA fighting cancer. We were able to make a donation that will provide 6 kids with a sponsored blanket. Our hearts are full knowing we were able to put a smile on these children’s faces during a difficult time in their lives. Looking forward to volunteering again soon. Thank you for all you do. ❤️
I met the Binkeez girls at St Jude while I was there for my 3 year life study test. I shared my testimony and they was amazed at my survivor years. They was nice enough to give me a kid size blanket and to my surprise they sent me a adult size blanket in the mail. This blanket is now a part of my survivor story
I have been with Binkeez from basically the beginning. I proudly bag and package the Binkeez and have also been part of the sewing team. I look forward to coming to volunteer. It is peaceful here, and I am doing a good thing and Binkeez is wonderful.
I was invited by a friend to tour Binkeez for Comfort in May of 2016. From the moment I stepped through the door, I knew I needed to be a part of this mission. The love behind what goes into each blanket was so evident. It’s pure, unconditional love in its truest form. I was recently able to witness firsthand the miracle of seeing a blanket chosen for a child and finding that it was a perfect match. It’s all because of love.
We came to know Binkeez in September 2013. My son was in the midst of a 30 day hospital stay and his team of doctors had just told us his beloved blankie had to go away, as it was believed to be the source of what was making him ill. Sad, and unsure how to tell him, I posted about it. The next day, we had a package on his hospital bed- his Binkeez. They heard his story and wanted to help. He took to it immidiately, and spent the next chapter of his life with us for every test, procedure and admission. We never left home without it!
Caleb gained his angel wings in May of 2014, and his Binkeez still brings us smiles and warmth. We all wanted to have it close by, and hugged it often. We were also blessed with an inspiration Binkeez, done in memory of Caleb, and we use and love those daily as well! Binkeez will always hold a special place in our hearts- not only for the love and support they showed Caleb, but for the love and support they have showed our family since the day we became part of the Binkeez family
Binkeez for Comfort brings love and light into the families with children fighting bigger battles than most of us ever will. It’s more than just a blanket. When you get your Binkeez it’s like getting a virtual hug from a whole entire community of people who have your back! You can bring it with you to the hospital when you need to feel brave, on adventures and trips to make memories, or just cuddle it when you need a reminder that you are not alone on this journey. We are so thankful for our Binkeez and everything it means to us.
I have worked with inked in some capacity since it started. Binkeez always follows the lead of what is in the best interest of the children and families. There is alot the general public does not know on rules and guidelines which Binkeez has to and always follows. I am happy to be part of an organization like Binkeez as a Board Member and who spends time weekly in Binkeez seeing the day to day operations.
I have been following the stories of the children that are helped by this charity on Facebook. I was amazed to see how they deliver hundreds of Binkeez at a time to hospitals to help comfort children in horrible situations. Everything is so personal with this charity. When you contribute, they send a hand written thank you card and you can tell that so much care is put into everything they do.
My daughter Emily received a Binkeez blanket from Their partner Team Lilly Foundation, she loved her blanket and would bring it with her to the hospital and would sleep with it at home, before she passed away, everything was so sudden that we didnt bring it, she fell in a coma and Trish brought her another Binkeez and draped her in while she made her way to heaven, we appreciate the love and care that went into making the blanket, my daughter earned her angel wings and we passed along that special blanket to my niece, first girl born after my Emi, they never got to meet so I know in a way that blanket keeps them close. ♥️
Our 11 year old son has an extremely rare cancer and is undergoing treatment, having to travel 511 miles each month to see his Dr and get his meds. Binkeez for Comfort sent him a beautiful, handmade blanket to comfort him on his travels. This is such a special gift that he takes with him in the car and will take with him to the hospital when he has surgery. A special item from home to keep him feeling 'safe' and loved by those that have not even met him!
We love Binkeez! My 7 year old daughter has Cerebral Palsy, A rare form of Epilepsy, and chronic lung disease among other issues. Her blanket has brought so much comfort to her on her hospital stays. Hospital stays are rough, you miss home and Everything about it but being able to have her Binkeez with her is literally a piece of home that can bring so much comfort. Little brother will cuddle up with sissy and her Binkeez too! It’s really the only time he’s calm!
What this company does is so amazing and heart warming. Who doesn’t need extra cuddles with an amazing blanket when their sick or going through big battles!
My daughter is 11 nonverbal and has autism. She also has a tumor disorder that drastically increases her risk of cancer. She has had 21 breast tumors removed already. This blanket is such a comfort already and will be travel to all of her hospital visits
Can’t thank Binkeez enough for bringing so much comfort to our 6 yr old son Nico. Nico has Cerebral Palsy and faces so many challenges and now with his new Binkeez those challenges are more comforting . He loves his new blanket and he brings it with him every where we go . Thank you Binkeez for bringing so much comfort and happiness to our little warrior .
Daniel has epilepsy, Lennox gastaut syndrome, extreme global developmental delay, amongst many other things. He is a frequent flyer at our local hospital. His favorite activity is cuddling and thanks to binkeez for comfort he has a new beautiful soft blanket to snuggle in.❤
My son has congenital heart disease and is in the hospital frequently and loves his blankets to help comfort him while he’s away from home. A fellow heart mom friend told me about Binkeez and how soft the blankets were and that they also had a little bit of weight to them due to the fabric. I looked at the website and knew my son would love one. It’s things like this company that help children in their darkest days, some who are fighting for their life. The response I received was almost immediate and the blanket was received so quickly! This was so nice and I will always support Binkeez. I hope they can offer more blankets of comfort for more children.
It is the absolutely most perfect blanket!! My 3 mo old daughter Indie loves things soft and this is the cutest and softest blanket in out house!! Thank you so much its lovely and she loves being wrapped up in it!!
I can not tell you enough how wonderful this organization is!!! My son had B-cell ALL and spends a lot of time at home due to isolation. He loves the soft touch of his Binkeez. The people who I was blessed to come in contact with through this organization were so amazing. I cannot say enough how awesome they have been!
Arrived the fastest I have ever seen something shipped. We approached because of a friend that had a son that got one. From the moment I contacted them I could tell they were there for my family in the time we needed. To some it's a blanket, but to those and the families Binkeez supplies these comforts for it is more then just a blanket it's hope! Thank you for providing hope and comfort for our family.
Thank you soooooo very much for your kindness and for my daughter Kendalls new favorite blanket! She is 2 months into her battle with leukemia and getting a special package with a blanket just for her completely brightened her day. I cannot thank you enough Binkeez for comfort!!!
Both my son and daughter struggle with an illness. My son with complex hear defects and my daughter with type 1 diabetes. It was so comforting to come across Binkeez and see what they do for children. My son is only a month old and will endure multiple surgeries, I find comfort in knowing that we can wrap him in a comforting blanket each time.
They reached out to me on facebook. It is so nice to have someone make a blanket for my 5 month old heart baby Jacob! Thank you so much, he loves it!!
This organization is absolutely wonderful. My daughter has had a tough time. This blanket out a big
Smile on her face
You guys are amazing!! My son loves the blanket!! It's so comforting and helps him relax while he's going through treatments. He loves the dinosaur print!!
Eliza received a Binkeez for Comfort blanket at home. She has fallen in love with it and snuggles it every night to go to sleep! She’s been fighting a virus at home the past two weeks and has had a few rough days. Her Binkeez has brought her so much comfort! I am beyond grateful for this amazing gift for my sweet girl
We couldn’t be more pleased or any happier with these amazing blankets that we received for our son Lampton and our family!!! Binkeez For Comfort is such an amazing organization and they are truly angels on earth for what they do and have done for so many!!! We are so honored and so blessed that they donated not only 1 but 2 blankets to our family!! These blankets are amazingly soft and make you feel like your at home if your away for another hospital stay!! They really do comfort you when you’re not in the comfort of your own home. If you are looking for a nonprofit organization to donate to, Binkeez For Comfort is a great one to choose!! Thank y’all again!!
My daughter got diagnosed with Leukemia in February 2019. Binkees was recommended to me in a support group. After reaching out to them, they sent her a Binkeez blanket within a week! It is so soft and comfortable. We very much appreciate gestures like this during this difficult time.
my son just received his binkeez and he loves it We washed and dry it and covered him up and he feel asleep it's so soft and comfortable to cuddle with!! We love it!! Thank you so very much!! Binkeez for comfort
I wanted to tell you thank you again for the blanket you sent my son this fall. It's been with him for 2 hospitalizations and tomorrow going in with him for his 9th surgery (2nd surgery with his blanket). He also had it with when he found out. It's meant so much to him. Thank you!
Binkeez, oh no words can Express how amazing this company is. This blanket is so soft. My boy absolutely loves is and is so comforted by it.
My daughter recently received a Binkeez blanket. It is beautiful and so soft and so warm and comfy. I am beyond pleased with this new blanket. As a medically fragile special needs girl this new blanket will bring so much to our time at home and also our time in the hospital. I would highly recommend Binkeez for Comfort.
Brayden just received his blanket today and absolutely LOVES it! He has already asked if he can bring it everywhere with him! So blessed that he has been given this gift!!
We stumbled upon your blankets when our 15 year old son, Alex, was inpatient at Levine Children’s Hospital. Alex, who is diagnosed with Mitochondrial Disease, went into respiratory arrest on November 28th. December 10th, we made the heart wrenching decision to have a tracheostomy done. Alex spent 50 days inpatient during this last hospitalization and finally came home on January 16th. And just last week, we received his super soft blanket. The weight of it and the softness just calmed his body when I laid it on him tonight. We can’t thank you enough for getting it to us so quickly. It is perfect!
Binkeez is amazing. My daughter was born with brain injury she has seizures has Gtube and trachae tube. I am glad that she can feel comfort through the warmth of this beautiful blanket since she loves to sleep. Thank you.
Our 3yr daughter was diagnosed with Leukemia in October 2018. She loves blankets and the one sent to us from Binkeez has been by far her must have. Every night, she has to have this on her and her clinic/hospital visits. A fantastic organization that has provided a great blanket for our daughter as she fights to be survivor. Thank you so much!
Our son has all leukemia and we heard about binkeez through a Facebook group. They were wonderful and sent him a warm green cameo blanket and he loves it and he was so surprised. I can’t express how much this group has helped bring my son’s spirits up during a trying time. Thank you again for the blanket
My daughter Nevaeh hat a Binkeez. She absolutely loves it! It helps to comfort during the many times when she needs it most.
This was an amazing gift my daughter was having a rough day and when she got her new blanket she covered up and went to Sleep she woke up so happy talking about the mermaids and fish on her blanket she absolutely loves it
We were fortunate enough to receive a Binkeez for Comfort blanket during his 4th round of chemotherapy. He had been diagnosed with AML (leukemia) in July 2016 had to have a bone marrow transplant, had Fanconi Anemia, Autism and Sensory Disorder. He absolutely loved his blanket! It was super soft, the best quality material and washed wonderfully. Manuel unfortunately passed away in November 2018. Binkeez for Comfort were kind enough to send us a gorgeous memorial piece that I will always cherish. This company went above and beyond when they didn’t have too. #teammanuel #unicornstrong
Leila received her Binkeez and it’s extremely soft and comfortable and has become her favorite blanket.
Wonderful organization. They sent Anna the softest blanket. She has had a rough week so this definitely has helped make her smile.
Binkeez for Comfort has been amazing to all of us! Not only did they make my 7 year old son, with Leukemia, a special blanket that was made just for him and named after him - but then they surprised my two daughters and blessed them with their very own, unique, Binkeez Blankets! Then to top it all off, they gave me a family size of the blanket named after my son. They never ask for a thing in return. They are all loving, caring, and wonderful to every family and they go above and beyond to make each child, and their families, feel special and loved. Binkeez will always have our love, appreciation, and support. They've been such a blessing!
"Being home from the hospital is treating us well, especially for my girl thanks to Binkeez for Comfort. We came home to a box addressed to “FIGHTER CARMEL” with an amazingly soft blanket made just for her. Such a timely gift of tangible comfort for her as she recovers- and a gift she will be able to enjoy for years to come. So, grateful!"
This was something I posted on my daughter's care page when we returned from the hospital. I had heard of Binkeez for Comfort from a friend, and from the moment I reached out---it was nothing but incredible. Such compassion and care in every communication exchange with the Binkeez team and I am just blown away. My daughter absolutely loves her Binkeez----seriously, it is SOO soft and the perfect size for her to truly wrap up and snuggle in.
We are so grateful for the Binkeez team and everyone who makes this possible!!!!!!!! What a gift to critically ill children and their families---truly!!!
I heard of binkeez for comfort off of a page I follow so I applied for it for my son and pretty much immediately got an email saying he qualified for a blanket. The blanket came so fast I was shocked! His blanket is so soft I wanted to keep it for myself. I didn’t expect the blanket to be so soft and cute. He loved it as soon as I gave it to him. So glad I applied for one!
My son is 3 years old. May 2018 his father and I were told that his heart was failing and that he needed a heart transplant. He received the Berlin heart to bridge him to transplant. June 2018 his new heart arrived! We are now 6 months post transplant. When I heard of this organization I knew Aries had to have one! The blanket is so soft and cozy he absolutely loves it! Thank you so much Binkeez!
We received Kaileys binkeez today! That wsas so quick and it is beautiful! Thank you so much! Kailey loves it and "it is sooooo soft" she says! She made it very clear to her sister that it is hers and she's not sharing it :) she informed me that this is thr blanket that has to go to treatment and hospital stays with us from now on. The photo I have is too large to upload, but her smile says it all. Thank you Binkeez for Comfort!
My daughter is 7 and has Leukemia. She's the coziness, most snuggly little girl and chemo has limited her mobility. Jean at Binkeez quickly sent her the most beautiful blanket that is perfect for us both to fit under. She brings it chemo and it takes away some of the pain for all of us.
Thank you for helping my little girl feel better through this horror.

Thank you for providing these wonderful blankets. My daughter Kelsey is 18 and was diagnosed with APML Dec 5th 2017 at Hasbro Children's Hospital in Providence RI. After a 30 day stay she is home now but continues sleeps with her blanket every night and takes it to clinic with her everyday.
Update: As of August 3rd 2018 Kelsey is offically in REMISSION, but continues to use her Binkeez Blanket everynight

In Dec 2017 my 18 year old daughter Kelsey was diagnosed with APML at Hasbro Children Hospital. On her first day of admission she received a package containing her BLINKEEZ blanket from her nurse Tracy. As soon as she felt and cuddled her blanket it seemed as though she realized that people around her loved and cared about her and what she was going through. After spending 30 days as an inpatient she was able to go home. She continues to cuddle her blanket every night and brings it to clinic with her daily. She has said that the blanket often reminds her of how far she has come in such a short time. We as a family are truly grateful for the wonderful organization that BLINKEEZ FOR COMFORT is.
We absolutely love this organization! They sent my sweet Emily a beautiful snuggley blanket that we take everywhere. Emily has a very hard time sleeping in new places so hospitals were rough for us but now we take our binkeez and she sleeps like a charm.she has that piece of comfort that she is use to at home and it is a wonderful thing. They are a great caring foundation! They have sent a lot of our cerebral palsy warrior,friends blankets too!

We received a binkeez blanket for my sweet Emily Lynn. Emily has many health complications that she conquers with a smile. She has spastic quad cerebral palsy with dystonia, cvi, global developmental delay, chronic lung disease and last October we found she was epileptic. We spend a lot of time running back and forth to the hospital trying to control these seizures with meds and to have something she can take from home to the hospital means a lot! Emily has a hard time being somewhere different and doesn't sleep the best for her eegs. I believe having her binkeez will help tremendously! we love binkeez for all that they do not only for my child but for thousands of others. Something comforting like a blanket can make a huge difference for our sick kiddos! Thank u so much for all that yinz do!
Love,
Miss Emily and her momma alisha diets
My niece Skilya has Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome and has survives a stroke when she was 8 months old. This nonprofit put a big smile on her face with this special blanket.
My son Calvin was born at just 1 pound 7 ounces at 23 weeks gestation. Binkeez for Comfort sent Calvin the most amazing blanket to comfort him through his daily battle to survive. Their generous gift means more than words can describe. Calvin loves his binkeez!
My son Camden absolutely loves his new blanket from Binkeez for Comfort! He has had it just a few days but it goes wherever he goes. He says that it is the softest and most snuggly blanket he has ever touched. Thank you so much for the opportunity to have a blanket!
Ella getting ready for another surgery. She is all relaxed & cuddled up w/her Binkeez! She gets so many compliments on her soft beautiful blanket! Thank you.
My little guy spends so much time in the hospital. We are on day 18 of this current admission in fact. I decided after seeing how cozy some of our friends wrapped in Binkeez, to apply for one for Keegan. Binkeez replied within hours to me. And his Binkeez blankey arrive within days! Keegan loves his soft blanket, and it will bring him so much comfort in the days to come. We are so grateful for what Binkeez does for kidddos like my Keegan.
Katie has cancer and the chemo makes her skin very sensitive. She loves her binkeez because it is so soft and comfy. It has definitely become the favorite. Her big sister has tried to trade her several things for it but Katie loves it and won't give it up. Lol. She keeps it close by at all times.
My son is as in the PICU for respiratory issues when I came across Binkeez. They quickly sent my son a blanket that he carries with him everywhere. From doctor appointment to therapies, to grandmas house. Thank you so much Binkeez for comfort!!
My son was diagnosed at 2 1/2 years with stage 4 neuroblastoma. Binkeez4comfort was one of the first organizations to send a gift that completely wrapped him and his siblings in love. They needed that comfort at such a scary time and now almost 2 years out their blankets are still taken on every trip and go with my son to every scan and test. Could not say enough about what this place does for those in need.

Review from Guidestar
Binkeez is a wonderful non profit that does amazing things for children. We first met Susan, the founder of Binkeez, in March of 2015 soon after our son was diagnosed with ALL. She was at Hasbro Children’s hospital handing out the Binkeez blankets to the children that were inpatient at the hospital. Not only did our son receive an amazing blanket, but he was able to spend some time being a kid doing some arts & crafts project that Susan had arranged for the kids. As parents it was amazing to see our son be a kid, to have no worries during his time with Susan & Binkeez. Through the years Binkeez has become part of our family. We have attended numerous events hosted by Binkeez. They continue to support our son & family with events that allow us to be a ‘normal’ family.
Such a wonderful organization that touches many people. Blankets made with love from volunteers. This is what you call acts of kindness; acts of love. Being able to give blankets to close friends fighting horrific illnesses and providing the comfort no other blanket has been able to compare, it fills my heart with love knowing others are being wrapped in love. It's an honor to serve on the board that its mission has always been true to heart.
My daughter was lucky enough to be gifted one of these gorgeous Binkeez blankets when she was in ICU. It fast became one of our most loved and cherished blankets. And thank you so very, very soul who requested the nurse give one to my angel. I cannot thank you enough for the joy this blanket bought us.!!
Binkeez for Comfort is dedicated to provide comfort and hope to sick and terminally ill children. Volunteers sew thousands of blankets each year for children in hospitals throughout the country that they may have some hope and joy (i.e., what young child doesn't love their blanket?) as they fight for their life. The purpose and mission of this charity is maintained with an unwavering, laser-like focus on delivering highest quality blankets of hope for the children.
This non-profit organization exists for one reason and one reason only and that is to provide comfort to sick and terminally ill children. Daily, volunteers cut and sew thousands of blankets each year that are shipped throughout the country and overseas to hospitals and families. I have not worked with a finer organization or group of people standing united to help unhealthy children.
Serving as a board member for this absolutely wonderful organization has brought me so much joy. Seeing how much love goes into every step of the way is something I could not imagine before now. From picking the fabric patterns, the volunteers who sew each stitch to perfection, to the delivery of each Binkeez. The comfort that each blanket gives to not only the sick children but the entire family is just amazing. In such a terrifying and sad time, Binkeez For Comfort brings a bit of light to each precious child in their time of need, and I could not be more proud to be just a small piece of the Binkeez family.
I am blessed to be a Board Member to this amazing organization. I am a Pediatric Oncology Nurse and mom to a Childhood Cancer Survivor, I am able to see first hand how amazing Binkeez for Comfort is, and the impact it makes on patients and their families.. This is not just a blanket , this is comfort and love wrapped around a child in the most difficult days. I cannot say enough about how important this is!
Amazing!! My daughter loves her binkeez blanket and it came in a very timely manner
Thank you so much
My friend mourning the death of her little boy couldn’t express the comfort she felt from receiving her Binkeez blanket.
They were very patient in explaining everything, the blanket is beautiful and the delivery was quick; I can’t thank them enough!
Tears came to my eyes as I opened my Binkeez blanket box. Being sick is difficult, but nothing comes close to the pain of feeling scared and alone. With this Binkeez by my side at appointments and hospital visits, I will feel less alone and more loved. Words can not express how grateful I am for this comfort item. Not only is it my favorite color and a beautiful pattern, but it’s soft fabric makes me comfortable and relaxed.
We adopted Jett in China on 12/18/17. We were able to bring his Binkeez to wrap him in love from day one. He has a life long blood disorder and will soon be getting to treatment that he needs when we get back to USA. Thank you Binkeez for loving our family from our Jade to our Jett.
You guys have once again blown me away with your most precious and thoughtful gift in memory of Brooks. It is so perfect and I plan to keep it up all year long just like his wooden angel. Thank you for what you do!!!
Our 2017 Binkeez ornament in memory of Keegan. These ornaments are beautifully crafted and we look forward to ours every year! Thank you goes out to our @binkeezforcomfort family heart Merry Christmas! #forourangel #missmyson#binkeezlove
Last weekend we decorated a little Christmas tree for Raul, battery powered lights and all! Today I received his ornament from Binkeez for Comfort, which couldn't have been more perfect! I love that they still remember each year all their kids who have passed away.
I look forward to receiving one of these beautiful ornaments for Christmas each year. You have no idea how comforting it is to my broken heart.
Thank y'all so much for ALWAYS remembering My Sweet Azalee and all the rest of the Angels who have left this world too soon.
Y'all are Heaven sent to a grieving heart heart
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for thinking of Rylan and my family. It means more than you could possibly know. XOXO
Today we received our binkeez blanket for my 7 year old daughter. She was excited to receive a delivery package just for her. Once she opened the package and saw the beautifully designed blanket her eyes lit up. The only thing more precious was seeing her expression after she felt the softness of the material. Thank you so much for sharing such a wonderful gift with our baby girl.
My son just received his Binkeez for Comfort Blanket and is over the moon. Going to chemo, radiation treatments and long hospital stays, really takes a toll on him so it is nice for him to bring something from home that takes his mind off of the hospital. This is a fabulous organization that really brings joy to the children and family it touches!

This non-profit goes above and beyond to make Children with illness feel comfort. They were the very first to reach out to us when my daughter was 13 months old and diagnosed with Retinoblastoma. The love and support is not the only amazing thing offered, the blanket has become a staple in or Cancer journey. For the past year and a half this blanket has brought my daughter comfort in some of the hardest times. I would recommend their support to any other parent going through a hard journey of childhood illness.
My daughter was born with gastroschisis 6weeks early weighing 3lbs at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. She underwent 3surgeries and a lot of other procedures. She resided at Chop for 119days. Binkeez for comfort sent a beautiful super soft blanket for her. She loves to snuggle blankets so this one is perfect. She'll have it with her for all of her future appointments and procedures to give her comfort. They are such an amazing organization and so thoughtful! Touched our hearts!!
Wesley's brain tumor was discovered on 12/23/15 at the age of 15 months. After a long day filled with terms we had never known, Wesley was scheduled for surgery the following morning- Christmas Eve day. After many long days Wesley returned home. With many visiting a to Dana farber and the brain tumor clinic, behind and ibfront of us, this blanket will provide so much. Love, comfort, reassurance and smiles will come from this blanket. His face light up upon receiving it. Thank you so very much.
Matthew has a very rare terminal illness that unfortunately means many hospital stays, and visits with specialists who work hours away from home. Through every step of his journey, the one thing that remains a constant comfort to him is his blanket from Binkeez! To Matt, it smells like home and feels like love, making the painful and scary seem a little less so. For us, just seeing him hold his blanket close allows us to breathe a little easier, knowing he's feeling safe.
When I think back to that hard, hard week in April when we found out Charlie had cancer, and we innocently went to the ER and ended up staying at Hasbro for 8 Days, one of the things that sticks out to me is Binkeez for Comfort. They give a blanket set (a parent size blanket and a kid size blanket) when you receive a cancer diagnosis. These blankets are literally a comfort that you didn’t know you needed when your world is turned upside down. Hospital beds, sheets and blankets leave much to be desired. Binkeez blankets bring warmth and comfort on hard days. We are blessed and honored to have one named after Charlie. #prayforsircharles
I remember the exact moment that Binkeez for Comfort touched my heart. I was at work when I received a message from Susan, the incredible founder of Binkeez. Susan shared that they had a fabric with a "swirl-like pattern" that she wanted to dedicate to my cousin Matthew "Swirls" Cirelli. I was immediately brought to tears and overwhelmed with love. My cousin Matt (his nickname was Swirls for his red curly hair!) passed away in December of 2013 after a 2-year battle with Ewing's Sarcoma. In his honor, we started Swirls Around the World to continue his legacy. I immediately sent Susan's message to my family, and we were all so speechless and honored. A few days later, we received the most beautiful gift in the mail ,The Matt "Swirls" Binkeez. It was truly one of the greatest moments; the excitement of opening the package from Susan and Binkeez and seeing the Swirls pattern, and hugging the blanket so tight that I felt the love that went into making this blanket; it was just like Christmas morning, but even better.
Just this month, my family and I had the opportunity to visit Susan and The Binkeez store to see where all of the magic happens, and it was such an incredible day. When I walked in to the Binkeez store, I felt all the love in the world. I was surrounded by beautiful photos of pediatric warriors. Susan shared with us the stories of these incredible children, and each Binkeez that was dedicated in their honor. She told us the story of how Binkeez originated; to honor her mother's work of sewing over 40,000 blankets for children in third-world countries. Susan continued her mother's legacy with the founding of Binkeez for Comfort. Displayed on the wall was some of the blankets that Susan's mother had sewn, serving as an everyday inspiration of love. Susan welcomed us with big hugs, and from the moment she sent us the message about the Swirls fabric, she became family. Binkeez for Comfort is for the children and each blanket is truly more than just a blanket. When you hug a Binkeez Blanket, you can feel the love, warmth, and careful thought that went into the blanket and the child that the blanket is dedicated to. Binkeez is love.
Susan gifted us with four Matt "Swirls" Binkeez to spread the love with. Meeting Susan and seeing where the true magic takes place left my heart feeling so beyond full. My family and I are so thankful and blessed that Susan and Binkeez for Comfort came into our lives. Susan is a true angel on Earth and her dedication to stay true to Binkeez and the children is so incredibly inspiring. We are forever grateful.
My family and I are already planning another visit to volunteer and to be apart of The Binkeez Mission of love.
Thank you Susan and thank you Binkeez for Comfort, for continuing to make a difference and spreading love and inspiration around the world. You will forever have a special place in our hearts.
Love,
Jen Caruso
I connected with Binkeez for Comfort three years ago when my son Bryce was scheduled for open heart surgery the next month. I was met with such care and compassion on the other end of that first e-mail. Bryce received his Binkeez rather quickly and fell in love with it right away. It was a great source of comfort for us both before his surgery and during his recovery. Binkeez for Comfort is an amazing organization that does much more than provide blankets. Outside of the charitable work they do for, and in honor of, so many, they are truly an organization full of love and compassion. Any time I've ever been in contact with anyone within the organization I've felt like I was chatting with a dear friend. Bryce still, three years later, loves his Binkeez and snuggles, cuddles, and sleeps with it all the time. The pictures I've included are from when he first received his binkeez, and then more recently.
When Ray is sick and in the hospital, he likes comforts from home. We bring stuffed animals, soap, lotions and other items from home but the one thing he likes most of all is a blanket. For the past 2 years, I have used a toddler blanket that we used to use on our rocking chair when I held him, but he got too big. Now that he has a Binkeez, I know what he will want.
Thank you so much for sending the Binkeez to Ray. He loves it! ! It is so soft and cuddly...like him! He smiled the first time it was against his skin. He had asked for it the past 2 nights when I put him in bed. It is already become part of his nighttime routine.
Thank you! !!
Thank you so much! She loves to cuddle under blankets! It's so cold here in Missouri, and even when it's not cold- she runs cooler, so it will get lots of use! I'll share a picture when it arrives!
Thanks again for all you do! It means so much for parents like myself.

Caiden's response to his binkeez was so genuine and he melts me over his pure love of little things in life. Thank you!
Thank you so much for the amazing blanket for my son Benjamin! It arrived on the same day he came home from his shunt placement surgery! Unfortunately, just a couple of days later, we had to go back to the hospital with the flu and pneumonia. His Binkeez for Comfort blanket has been perfect for him to cozy up under, and much nicer than the hospital blankets."
In August Addison received a very special blanket from Binkeez for Comfort. This blanket went with Addison to the hospital and eventually went to Germany with her for treatment. She loved how soft it was. Today we received a package from them. Inside was this super soft blanket with arrows, a beautiful cross with Addison's name, a card, wing and halo. Thank you so much! I cried when I opened it
My little heart warrior, AJ, LOVES his blanket! He underwent his 5th heart procedure (3 open hearts and 2 caths - this most recent cath placed a stent in his heart just 2 weeks ago). Thank you so much for making him smile so big!!
Lucy was discharged yesterday from Boston Children's after being in a hospital for nearly month. While in Boston, she received her Binkeez while recovering from open heart surgery. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! Recovery will still be a journey, but we are so glad Lucy has her Binkeez to bring with her!
Epic's blanket arrived just in time for his post opt appointment with the oncologist:) We love it so sooooo much . Thank you so very much
I just wanted to let you know we received Isaiah's Binkeez today! It's perfect and so comfy. It means so much. This is such an awesome organization
Binkeez started gifting blankets to the bravest of fighters not long after my three-year-old son, Carter, passed away from a brain tumor. It was not long after his death that Susan approached me and asked if she could commemorate Carter’s life with a Binkeez. From that moment, our partnership was born. She innately knew that I needed a way to honor my son and let his legacy continue.
In the four years since Carter’s death, I have worked with Susan to ensure that the lives of children currently fighting cancer receive Binkeez to help comfort them in the darkest of moments. The partnership that we have created spurs from the love in both of our hearts. Together, we work to ensure that the children of St. Jude have Binkeez and that Carter’s life continues to spread joy here on earth.
My most recent endeavor has been to create a legacy program for Carter’s with Binkeez to ensure that these treasured blankets touch the lives of as many children at St. Jude as possible. Binkeez will be given to the children in the PICU each month and we will continue to travel to St. Jude each year to ensure that these children have the security and comfort of a Binkeez.
Binkeez is much more than a blanket. It is a ((HUG!!)), it is security, it is love. Each time a Binkeez embraces a child, the smile by the recipient is simply the acknowledgement of each.
I am honored to be a part of the Binkeez family and to have them represent my son’s legacy with a beautiful mission and an incredible love for the bravest of fighters.
Thank you for the blanket David is resting from his procedure .. he would not let go of his blanket and got to have it with him the whole time thank you so much
When it's 30 degrees outside, momma and sweet girl enjoy their Binkeez. So blessed to be cared about by such amazing people.
Hi it's Gaby, I wanted to let you know that I took my amazing binkeez for my hospital stay. I was supposed to be admitted for next week Friday but on Wednesday I received a phone call from my doctor saying that she wants me to come in this Friday instead. Usually things go pretty well while at the hospital but this time it was a bit more rough because I was really dehydrated so I had to get tons of fluids and lab test which delayed us a bit. Today we did the second round of my endoscopy injections to help my Gastroparesis and I received lots of nausea meds and also breathing treatments. The treatments went fine but I have an infection which means I'll need antibiotics. I don't know what type of infection but they did a biopsy and sent it to the lab. Overall I'm doing pretty well and everyone loves my binkeez. Now I'm just trying to rest and not overthink things. Thank you so much for my binkeez
My son, Tyler, and I met the Binkeez crew at CureFest and he received this beautiful blanket shortly after. It brings great comfort especially on sick days - and even on road trips! Binkeez is the best and we truly appreciate your kindness generosity!
I can not say enough about Binkeezforcomfort.org and Susan Posterro.
They truly are amazing.
They have passion and
I just wanted to thank you for the twins BinkeeZ. They have been dragged everywhere with us over the past week! I told Brennen all about meeting you and how the blanket is so special from his time in Boston... Now calling it his Boston blankie. And Kinley, well she says "mine like B's but my no sick". Thank you for brightening the days of children like Brennen. As a parent of a sick little guy, it's people like you and organizations like BlinkeeZ that keeps us going. Thank you again
ecause of Arielle. Miss Arielle received her first Binkeez on February 14, 2014 during a bone marrow transplant for JMML. We received the most note from her momma this morning....
"Not enough likes in the world...my daughter received her Binkeez almost 3 years ago at Boston Children's Hospital...it became THE blanket. She has to sleep with it every night and it goes everywhere with us! Such a blessing! Keep going Binkeez! Your work is so appreciated!"
As we shared with her heart. "Thank you for your {love} oh we have just begun on our mission of love for the bravest of lives. It makes our hearts so happy to hear how much your daughter's Binkeez has and continues to mean on her brave journey. The thing about Binkeez is this is about love and children can feel our love through each Binkeez. Love can never be washed out."
Because of you Arielle...today and everyday.
We received our blanket !! Thank you so much she loves it. As soon as we got home from our trip to st.jude she fell asleep with it!
Every year since Azalee has passed away I have received one of your beautiful ornaments. The feeling I get when it arrives in the mail is like the feelings a child gets on Christmas morning
Thank you for doing this in honor of our beautiful Angels. You never know how much something like this means until you lose a child... remembering them means EVERYTHING.
Thank you from the bottom of my broken heart.

This is my otherwise healthy typical child who ended up in the er last night and the one thing he wanted to bring with him was his sibling blanket! From a genuinely thankful heart, thank you for the blessings you give to our children!! You give them something to help get them through difficult times, in a small way parents can't. I will be forever grateful for y'all. I just want you to know how grateful we are, for what you do. We are thankful for te sibling blanket, it has comforted him the 40 days his sister was in the hospital and now he is here himself and it gives him comfort.
Thank you for sharing!! My youngest was given a binkeez for her own hospital stays and when I had my first hospital admission, she gave me her binkeez so I could be comfy. That is how I came to have my own binkeez so that she could keep hers to snuggle up with. Mine always comes to the hospital with me now and my girls love to snuggle up under it.
Not a single night has gone by past three years I believe that he has not had his Binkeez blankets with him .
Both of my children where in the hospital at the same time recently. My youngest had a Binkees for Comfort on his bed waiting for him. You have no idea how much this helped him! We have had a lot of changes in our house medically and just over all this last year. Being in the hospital often is hard! A blankie that is the softest thing ever makes it all better. He didn't want to use the hospital blanket at all the entire admission.
Here's a picture of him with it (making a silly face) when he started to feel better. Thank you!
We are so thankful for the love and peace you've brought into our lives! Sending all our love to you guys
I want to say thank you, thank you for what your company does!!! Isabel had surgery on the 1st of November and what was supposed to be only 7 days had turned into 22 days and counting!!! I know her original had a tear and y'all made her a second which is what she chose to bring and she doesn't let it out of her sight. It has been one of two of the biggest comforts for her and I truly pray the lord blesses you 10 fold.
Today we walked in a local parade with Make A Wish- Katie has her Binkeez on her lap and her brother in her heart
Thanks for the blanket that sent my son Matthew is happy with his new blanket is a very happy child full of so much life. God bless you and thank you for your love.
So very grateful for this amazing organization. They provided my daughter with her best snuggle buddy/comfort item during her treatment for pediatruc cancer. Forever grateful, thank you
My daughter Chloe (7yo) was provided with a Binkeez for Comfort blanket recently as she has Down syndrome and was recently diagnosed with leukemia. She has been given many different blankets, but something about this one is special to her. I guess the way it wraps her up and snuggles her. And since it’s summer she is in shorts and t-shirts more and I think the incredibly soft fabric feels wonderful against her skin. She immediately wrapped herself up in it when I opened it and sleeps with it every night. It is a very special blanket and means the world to us. We are so thankful for being included in their program.
Susan you are a blessing. YOU are a dream maker, YOU live by faith and inspire many.. YOU inspire me
I love you all and I still feel so lucky to have been able to work with you during my year as Miss West Virginia. This company is responsible for some of the most priceless moments I have experienced here on earth. I'll thank you for the rest of my life for that reason alone.
Sometimes our greatest moments of trial turn into our biggest successes and moments of happiness if we live them well Susan Posterro thank you for bringing so much joy to children and mothers all over the world You have touched and brought happiness and healing to so many hearts through your journey
On Mothers Day today I salute you
Serving as President of the Binzeez Board of Directors has been such a privilege for me. The exceptional care given to each child and his/her family is unsurpassed by any other I have seen. From choosing the best materials , to the meticulous cutting and sewing, to the loving delivery of each blanket, Binkeez is truly a labor of love providing comfort to children fighting life-threatening illnesses.
Binkeez for Comfort is the most conscientious nonprofit that I've been a part of. The focus of the mission and achieving it responsibly, ethically and sensitively is at the core of everything is does. It is nothing short of extraordinary what this organization has accomplished in such a short period of time. I am proud to be part of a nonprofit that dedicates everything to making the most difficult time for a family a little easier. I look forward to the day that everyone knows about the tremendous work being done by Binkeez for Comfort.
I only learned about Binkeez for Comfort a few months ago at an event they hosted to raise community awareness. I expected to be filled with sadness after attending an event for a charity that primarily serves very ill children, however, I came away feeling the exact opposite. From the moment a child needs Binkeez they are truly wrapped in love and become a part of the Binkeez family. The founder of the organization is also a gifted photographer, and their space is filled with the most amazingly beautiful images of children loving their Binkeez blanket. When you look at these photos you know you are looking at children facing devastating illnesses, but all you see is joy, hope and strength. That is what Binkeez is all about and why I am honored to be a part of this charity.
Binkeez for Comfort is an amazing non-profit!! Providing loving, caring, sensitive support for cancer patients and their families is the ONLY mission and goal of this charity. Laser focus is on the needs and support of the children suffering and the families who are trying to be strong. The principals in Binkeez are sensitive souls who instinctively recognize that each child's experience and each family's challenges are unique and must be handled in a loving and caring manner. Always celebrating life - no matter how short it may be. Always channelling hope!!!
We love Binkeez from the bottom of our hearts we love everything they do and love there very very very soft blankets my son and I both have one and sleep with them every night they are the best blanket I have ever felt. My sweet son has a very rare syndromes called Pitt-Hopkins syndrome, 15q deletion, sensory processing disorder and restless body syndrome he's the only one on the world with all these syndromes together and Binkeez helps him sleep better at night ❤
It has been great honor over the past few years to watch and support the Binkeez endeavor as it blossomed under the helm of Susan Posterro. I have been struck to the heart by the stories of the children and teens affected by childhood cancer and the positive effect one seemingly small blanket can have on each individual. Little do you know when helping a budding non-profit that you may some day be in need of the unique services it provides. Recently my 14 year cousin was diagnosed with a cancer requiring 46 weeks of chemo, a lifetime to a young girl. Binkeez has provided her with tactile proof that she is always hugged and never alone in her battle. I am grateful beyond expression for the smiles Binkeez has provided.
Binkeez for Comfort is such an amazing organization! I am so incredibly pleased with the service I got from Sue and the rest of the Binkeez staff! I was recently diagnosed with chronic Lyme disease and my blanket was sent so fast! I love everyone at Binkeez and I want to say thank you for creating such an amazing organization!
We are so lucky to be able to collaborate with Binkeez for Comfort for our critically ill children of first responders. We couldn't feel more blessed and honored to have the opportunity to work with Susan and her team...these blankets have brought joy to some amazing children including our own. It is hard to imagine a blanket bringing so much immediate piece but binkeez do...there so much love that goes into these blankets that even the patients know as soon as they open their binkeez.
My daughter has Stage IV Neuroblastoma...and when you hear those words for the first time, you fear for your child and what you know they are about to have to go through. My daughter received a Binkeez for Comfort very soon after diagnosis. It's not just a blanket. They wrap you up in love and you become part of the Binkeez family. She takes that blanket everywhere. It is always the first words out of her mouth after surgery,"where's my blanky?" It's a panic moment if she can't find it. It gives her comfort and strength through all she has to endure and this organization has a huge part of my heart.
What more can you say about a company that puts their hearts into everything they do. They don't produce and package just blankets... they produce warmth and love, they deliver comfort and they give security to the bravest souls amongst us. They helped my son personally and through them I am spreading the love to other children in my son's name, to help them and to keep my son alive in memories. They worked tirelessly to create a program that will allow me to deliver a blanket to every child that has a transplant this year at the hospital my son so frequented for his transplants and after care. What a great organization, run by a great team of wonderful people.
The founder of Binkeez for comfort and I met though my request to use her captivating photos of Dorian (#dstrong) Murray in the children's book for and about children w cancer, entitled Leaving a Mark ; one I collaborated w Dorian and his mother to write . After learning more about what this non profit does and Susan's pure heart for children facing illness - I was inspired to feature Binkeez in the book as a trusted place to which to donate, and further , I will be donating all of my royalties from the book to trusted non profits and Binkeez is one of my most beloved . Their heart for children is unmistakable and their resolve is inspiring . Thankful to know they are a light in an otherwise dark time for children .
They care about everyone they give a blanket to. My daughter was born at 32 weeks gestation and was in the nicu. There was a request sent in and they sent out a beautiful and soft blanket to her. My daughter loves this blanket and rubs her cute little face on the blanket. They are amazing.
Our whole family was wrapped in Binkeez love last year. We were fortunate to meet Susan while she was visiting our local Children's hospital. She was so kind to make time in her busy schedule to meet our family. Not only did she wrap our little one with a super cuddly Binkeez, she also gave a "family size" one that matched. His big brother also received a special Clay Buchholz Foundation Binkeez which he has snuggled with daily. During our little one's most recent scans, he was wrapped in his blanket so that when the sedation wore off in recovery, he would be soothed by the smell of home and the comfort and warmth of the Binkeez family embrace. Thank you Susan and the Binkeez team for all that you do - your dedication, hardwork and generosity of time, talent and love will live with us forever.
Binkeez is amazing. Corbin received his first one a few years ago. It was well loved and used daily/nightly. When he outgrew it they sent him a new one. Just recently on a trip he lost it, and has been very sad and had some sleepless nights without it. After contacting Binkeez and explaining what happened, they will be sending him a new one. What they do is absolutely amazing and helps kiddos like Corbin more than they or anyone will ever know. His Binkeez has become his comfort and he does not leave home without it, wether it be for a trip or a procedure or just a dr visit!
Binkeez cares about children and their families. Each Binkeez is made with the best fabric, with attention to cleanliness and perfection. Every Binkeez delivered is made with purpose in mind. The purpose is love, caring and comfort for the child and the entire family. It's an honor to work with a group known for its love and continued support for children and their families.
Binkeez is an amazing group of people who have supported my son and our family since the beginning of our diagnosis! Last April my 22 month old Nicholas was diagnosed with Stage 4 high risk Neuroblastoma. We received our first blanket the second day! The fabric is carefully picked and it is the softest thing you could imagine (even after a million washes). Nick is doing amazing, and I truly believe that Susan and the Binkeez gang are apart of the love and support that surrounds us!! We could never thank them enough for everything! :)
Binkeez has brought so much comfort to our son Marco who is being treated for high risk neuroblastoma at Boston children's hospital. We never ever leave home without his blanket! Such a wonderful organization full of people with enormous hearts!!!
My son Jack was diagnosed with stage 4 high Rick neuroblastoma at 4 months old. It was shortly after, he received his first Binkeez blanket. The blankets are so soft and warm, and make you feel at home during hospital stays. But Binkeez for comfort is more than blankets. They wrap each child and family in love and support. I know they genuinely care for Jack and our family. They have been such great cheerleaders and offer great support during his fight. Susan, the founder, is the most compassionate and caring person. I am happy to call her my friend. We absolutely love Binkeez for Comfort!
My daughter's friend, a young 18 yr old mom lost her 2 wk old baby boy Blake on 1/12/16. He lost his battle with Osteogenesis Imperfecta even though he fought harder and lived longer than the 30 wks gestational age the doctors predicted. His mom knew he was a fighter but his body just could not handle the pain. As hard as it is, thankfully God took this sweet angel home where he could be free of pain and suffering.
I inquired about the "Angels Among Us" package and Susan emailed me almost immediately. Her emails to me proved that she truly cares about the parents who are grieving. I have to say that I have NEVER had such a wonderful experience during such a sad time. Thank you guys so much! I would like to support this charity any way that I can.

Binkeez for Comfort has been such a great blessing to our family. My daughter recieved her 1ST Binkeez about 3 years ago when her illness was at a high peak when it wasn't dormant anymore and we spent a lot of time in the hospital. My daughter Michaela carried her special soft blanket everywhere and it brought much comfort to her to be able to have it with her at all times in the hospital, on long trips , through many test to get a DX for her .. she still keeps that Binkeez close and recently recieved a 2nd Binkeez because her 1st one was not big enough anymore. We can not find enough words to really express how grateful we are to Binkeez .. for the love they have shown not only our family but many more

My two year old son absolutely loves his new Binkeez blanket - thank you so much! The last several months have not been easy on him or my wife and I. So, any little thing that helps to put a smile on his face is truly priceless at so many levels. Thanks for the genuine thoughtfulness and the beautiful Binkeez!

My son, Braylon, is 5 years old and is fighting a very rare disease called CDKL5. He has seizures on a daily basis, hypotonia, cortical blindness, cannot walk, talk, sit or stand (he can't even hold his own head up). Everyday is a fight for our sweet boy and he is truly our hero. Binkeez for Comfort is a site I came across on Facebook for a friend, whose son is fighting too. I sent in a request and was pleasantly surprised that I got a personal email for one of these amazing volunteer's! They were happy to tell us that Braylon's request was approved! I was so excited!!!! My son loves soft blankets and this, for sure, is the softest I have EVER felt. After it was received and I let them know I received another personal email! I am so impressed with this people and this organization. They have such love for these kids and what they do! I HIGHLY recommend that you support them and bless other children suffering with a little love!

I am the grandmother of a child that was the recipient of a Binkeez blanket and I can't explain it but there is something magical about them. This blanket has provided my grandson who is now 10 1/2 years old with so much comfort over the past year, it has also provided him with a sense of security. To those that make it possible for children like my grandson to get such a special gift, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Review from Guidestar
My son fell in love instantly with his Binkeez! It has already been with to Dr. Appointments and Will come with to future hospital stays. A comfort item is such a help when we are in and out of the hospital. It was made with such love , is sooo soft and cuddly. Thank you
Review from Guidestar
My son has had a rough go of it, and we had a really tough week this week. A blanket came in the mail from Binkeez and it was just what we needed. We all loved it. It has animals on it just like my son loves. He even hugged it when he saw it. We put him to bed and he gently rubbed it with his fingers and fell asleep. Thank you for giving us a happy moment during a really hard week.

I turned to Binkeez for Comfort when my nephew Joshua went into the hospital for surgery for his Crohn's Disease. He had 3/4 of his large intestines removed and was hospitalized for several days. I knew the process would take some time, so I waited to hear from someone. Shortly after his hospital say, they called me to say that he would be getting his Binkeez blanket in the mail within a week. I was so excited! Even though he was home, it meant the world to him to know that people care...and that he had a cozy blanket. He LOVES blankets. He's going back into the hospital this summer and I know his Binkeez with be with him every step of the way. What a great organization they are! Thank you for making my nephew feel so special and loved.

Binkeez for Comfort is one of the most heartfelt non-profit organizations I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. The founder is nothing short of amazing!!!! Binkeez is clearly her pride and joy and this shines through in all of her interactions whether they are from a distance or face to face. The amount of care and love that goes into each Binkeez blanket is immeasurable. They even ensure that all of the fabric is certified lead free, as well as independently tested to pass consumer safety act protection laws and government safety standards. Each snuggly soft blanket that is gifted by Binkeez provides a sense of comfort, joy, security, and a much needed smile to those that are so deserving. I know this first hand because my son was a recipient. I became a volunteer for Binkeez for all of those reasons, to show my appreciation and to give back. It was truly one of the easiest and best decisions I’ve ever made. I am so honored to be a small part of such a special organization.
Binkeez's is a incredible organization. Providing such comfort to children and their families which is such a stressful and scary time is incredible. Binkeez's is pure love and comfort. Binkeez's not only supports the family while going through treatment they honor and remember the children who have lost their fight. Having gone through this experience I know how much it means to me to have my daughter honored and remembered. This is an amazing organization.
Review from Guidestar
6 years ago, my daughter was diagnosed with leukemia. She underwent several rounds of high dose chemotherapy, total body radiation, and a stem cell transplant. During her journey, we came in contact with several wonderful organizations that were amazing to us. I knew right then that I would give back when her journey was over. On her 5 year cancer free celebration, we made it our family goal to give back to five amazing organizations. One organization that touched my heart deeply was Binkeez for Comfort. From the moment I read about them, I knew that is were my efforts would go. I became involved first through meeting the need of updating the website for them. Then a group was formed within Binkeez called Moms on A Mission. We are a group of moms whose children fought a illness and received a blanket. We measure, cut, and sew each blanket that is given to these most brave and wonderful children fighting a life threatening illness or disability. I have seen first hand how these blankets, made with such love, touch the bravest of souls. It's not just a blanket!!
Review from Guidestar
My son, Kenny Botting, is receiving proton therapy in Boston Massachusetts. Binkeez came and gave us all blankets. For those being treated with protons! My son fell in love with how comfortable the blanket was. Not only were they generous enough to serve my son, but they extended a blanket to my daughter Emma. Who by the way it was very jealous of Kenny's completely awesome and magic blanket. These blankets are handmade by mothers that I understand what you're going through. You can literally feel the love as it wraps around you. I later learned that this company not only gives you comfort but safety. The fabric is certified and verified safe for all. This means so much to us as we are going through something that involves critical examination of all toxins and negative elements. The creator of pinkies is the most selfless woman I have ever met. She does this because she loves it. She has been touched by knows that she gives to and it drives her. This blanket means more than fabric wrapped around you on a cold night. This blanket is comfort and home and a safe place. I don't know what we would've done without this. But the most impressive part of their company was their attention to my sons sibling. A lot of times the siblings get lost in the sickness and the separation of families due to necessity. Binkeez will wrap up my daughter in love as well.
Review from Guidestar
I am both a mom of a childhood cancer survivor and also a board member. Every aspect of Binkeez is transparent and from the heart... from the fabric chosen to the bags they are delivered in. From the correspondence between volunteers to the hand written thank you notes to each donor. Every stage, from requesting a Binkeez to delivery is treated with a sacredness, a love and care.... it is truly so much more than a blanket. As a board member I see the *underpinnings* and see the transparency and heart of the mission. As a mom of a child who has had cancer, I see the heart, the true intentions and the hope of the mission. Binkeez is a Great non profit I proudly stand with.

Volunteering comes from the heart, but volunteering for a loving and thoughtful organization like Binkeez for comfort doesn't need a second thought. The wonderful team makes sewing blankets for kids in treatment easy!! I know that my heart is blessed by paying it forward and lending my talents for the folks that really need comfort and a little extra love in their lives.
The team makes it easy to pick up sewing kits and turn them into comforting hugs of love. The communication is always on point and I have never had any question go unanswered.
I get to see the blankets I have sewn passed into children and families all across the US and read the stories of love posted to Facebook. It warms my heart to see the love shared and the people that care enough to be part of it.

My son Liam received his Binkeez when battling Leukemia. His was part of a special delivery with his Peach's Neet Feet at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro. It was an exciting day to say the least and the founder of Binkeez made it extra special by photographing the entire experience. Binkeez has brought so much comfort to us in a time a of need and we have been blessed to be part of this most amazing organization. It is so true that Binkeez is more than just a blanket. It provides hope and comfort when children and families might otherwise lose strength. The focus has always been on the kids and their needs. They go out of their way to spread their kindness and generosity with others. As a board member I feel honored to be part of something so true and genuine. And as a donor, I know that my contributions are going toward the comfort and joy of others. We might not be able to cure childhood diseases like cancer or take away someone's disability, but we can help to put a smile on their faces and bring a little sunshine and warmth into their lives. And in the darkest situations, share compassion and sympathy with those who lose their battle. I can't say enough about the generosity of spirit and good deeds this nonprofit is doing for the world!
Binkeez for Comfort is an amazing organization and one of the very few that provides love and comfort to children that are suffering from all types of diseases.
There are many non-profit organizations out there that specifically provide support to children with a diagnosis of cancer. As a parent of a child with an incurable rare disease, I find this a little frustrating. There are many children suffering from non-cancer related diseases, whether they be life threatening and or debilitating diseases that deserve to be eligible for and or afforded the same opportunities of comfort and joy.
I am so grateful for Binkeez as an organization as well as the joy and comfort the physical Binkeez has and continues to provided my son with.
Review from Guidestar
My son was one of the first recipients of the Binkeez blanket. He has never been attached to blankets but he was immediately attached to this one and it brought him much comfort and hope throughout his journey. On days he didn't feel good he used it as a source of comfort and security. On days he felt great he used it as a superhero cape and to play peek-a-boo.
I knew I wanted to help give back and started volunteering for Binkeez. This organization is even more amazing when you see the "behind the scenes" work that is put in. Each blanket is handled with the utmost care and love from the moment the fabric is ordered to the moment the child receives it. Different programs have been put into place to ensure not only children fighting receive comfort but also the families and the families of angels.
Binkeez is truly so much more than a blanket.
As a breast cancer survivor of 7 years, I was looking for a way to give back! I met Susan thru my daughter. I have been a sewer and a quilter for years and when Susan was looking for sewers, it seemed the right thing to do. I do as much as I can, and the rewards are many. Seeing Binkeez for Comfort evolve the way it has is a wonderful thing. I am proud and happy to be a small part of Binleez growth, kindness and the wonderful things we do for sick children.
Review from Guidestar
Binkeez is such an amazing nonprofit that truly helps so many, the children(and even some adults) that have received blankets are wrapped in so much comfort and it's nothing short of amazing.
I have sponsored a couple people to receive a binkeez and my boyfriend also bought me one, which gifted 4 binkeez to children.
I'm a Paralympic athlete so my binkeez travels with me, but it helps so much for me as I also have cerebral palsy and my binkeez helps with my leg spasms on a daily basis, I'm so very grateful for this team of amazingly kind hearted people and the blankets they put so much love into.
I wish there was more I could do to thank them for all they do for so many

My son received a Binkeez blanket when we traveled to Boston for his treatment. This was one of the most comfy beautiful blankets I have ever seen. With our own non-profit, Sammy's Superheroes, for childhood cancer research, we decided to fund blankets for pediatric oncology fighters. This has been an exceptional way to reach out to families who have also been affected by pediatric cancer. Personally, I have purchased Binkeez blankets as gifts for very special people. Each blanket you purchase from the Binkeez Boutique funds blankets given to others fighting big battles. This is a very special organization.
Review from Guidestar
My son has struggled with serious illness since infancy. He is now 12 years old. I have always looked for ways to help him feel secure, loved and brave. I had never thought of a blanket for him until we were gifted a Binkeez. He uses it every single day. He doesn't have any words but I can tell it feels like a warm hug every time it is wrapped around him. I never imagined a piece of cloth could contain such love and warmth. We are very thankful for our Binkeez!
Review from Guidestar
My son Henry received a Binkee several years ago. His Binkee has become the ONE comfort item, besides his mom and dad, that is a stable and loving force with him at every doctor appointment, every procedure, and every inpatient stay. He's 7 years old, but sadly is well beyond his years due to his experiences in his short life already. Having a Binkee made for him was something that put a smile on his face, and some comfort in his arms. He might not be able to sleep in his own bed every night, but he can have his Binkee. It was seemingly such a small gesture, but has made the difference to him, and to us. As he is wheeled in to the OR, we are able to hold and love on his Binkee as he does. And when he is in recovery, he has his own warm Binkee covering him, not a hard scratchy hospital blanket. There are no words to express how grateful we are to all the workers at Binkeez!
Forever grateful,
Bill and Kelli Purchase
