Help Children Feel Secure

There are times in life when everyone needs security, warmth and comfort. This is especially true for children who experience medical challenges or trauma. After a woman named Karen Loucks read a magazine article about a child with cancer whose security blanket helped her endure difficult chemotherapy appointments, Project Linus was born.

Project Linus is a non-profit organization staffed by volunteers that delivers security blankets to children around the world. Although Project Linus originally donated blankets to pediatric cancer patients, recipients now include any child who is seriously ill or traumatized.

How can you make a difference and bring warmth and security to children in need?

Visit www.projectlinus.org to learn how to send a donation or make a new, washable blanket to be given to seriously ill and traumatized children from birth to 18.
