Children's Security Blanket - Wrapped In Hope And Love
My Giving Story

I love music and dancing. One of my favorite songs is Ron Kenoly’s – Give and It Will Come Back To You In Good Measure, Pressed Down Shaken Together and Running Over… How You Give Is A Reflection Of Your Gratitude…

I believe that the more we give, the more blessings we receive. Thus, in my everyday life, I try to give back at least as much as I have received.

As we make our communities better, we create a better future for our children and those who will come after them.

I want to share a story about a nonprofit that leverages its limited resources by helping young children living with cancer.

One evening, as I watched the ‘Wrapped in Hope and Love’ video presented by the Children's Security Blanket, the tears streamed down my face. Young children under ten years old jumped around Camp Victory (summer camp) without a single care in the world. A little boy had been given the opportunity to ride a horse and was beaming with such pride. Watching several terminally ill children bonding and smiling at each other ignited my hope in humanity. That night, I wrote my first check to the Children's Security Blanket.

In addition to providing terminally ill children with special blankets, the Children’s Security Blanket of Spartanburg provides financial and emotional support to families of children facing cancer. Through the sparse resources available to the Security Blanket, families receive financial aid for transportation, lodging, meals, and recreation. A refuge for families with children living with cancer, the Security Blanket is there to support these children during spinal taps, blood transfusions, surgeries and multiple hospital stays.

Considering the impact of the Security Blanket’s work, I would be thrilled to see them receive additional funds for their services.
