My Nonprofit Reviews

My story started when my then Foster grandchild came to my daughter’s home at only 18 months. She probably thought “Who are these people that don’t look like me”? She was happy, joyful, silly, sweet, caring, but yet scared, unsure, scared of noises, the dark, and people with a certain look that maybe reminded her of someone in her life. She came wearing a pair of pj’s that were way too small, a tiny back pack, a juice packet, and a pack of fruit snacks, a full diaper and a small stuffed animal. She didn’t walk very well and had to have speech therapy. She was adopted at 4 and now she is my Forever Granddaughter. She is thriving in school and ballet, calls me Mimi, she hugs me, tells me she loves me, asks me to spend the night, loves to sew with me, cook with me and do whatever I am doing. I love her more than I would have ever thought possible. She is my Princess!

So when I heard about this group that makes quilts for graduating Foster Students there was no doubt in my mind what I needed to do! I love quilting and thought how nice it would be for these young adults to be able to have something someone took the time to make for them, to snuggle under and have something nice for their bed.
