Bloggers Make Valentines for Veterans and Provide Sew Much Comfort

Each year, the United States and Canada salute our hospitalized veterans during the week leading up to Valentine’s Day. We can all help boost the morale of our wounded veterans by making Valentines for Veterans and delivering them to our local VA Hospital.

We asked bloggers to volunteer to make Valentines for Veterans and earn a donation of clothing from Dollar Days for Sew Much Comfort.

I’ve been touring the bloggers who have already posted and am incredibly touched not only by their efforts but also by the comments from their readers…

Not only is Sesame Street a favorite of children everywhere, it is an excellent program for teaching about compassion.

Please Vote For a Worthy Children’s Charity To Win $1 Million

I get very emotional when I see, read about, or watch on TV a child in pain. A family struggling to accept the reality of an impaired or afflicted child in their lives. An empty crib, clothes that are never worn, a mother who has lost the light of her life.

I am working with a charity called Trisomy 18 Foundation which is a finalist in the Chase Community Giving Challenge on Facebook…

Donating Toys to Children’s Hospitals

Bloganthropy.org bloggers, Debbie Bookstaber of Mamanista, Candace Lindemann of Mamanista & Naturally Educational, Veronique Christensen of Little Elephants, Sarah Peppel of Genesis Moments and DIY Frugal, are bringing Toy Donations from Corolle, LeapFrog, Steiff, Scholastic & Klutz to Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and Schneider Children’s Hospital on Long Island as part of our first project.
