Grandmas Blankets Update


Grandmas Blankets Update

I've had to postpone the delivery of food to the Mission.
We will, Lord willing, send the groceries out
closer to Thanksgiving.

Blankets are getting ready to be delivered to
a grieving family who unexpectantly lost their 54 yr old
Husband, Father.  He was the only provider. 
Personal supplies and laundry supplies
are also going to the family.

A blanket is also being delivered to an elderly man who has been injured in a fall. 
I think he's close to 90 years old. His wife is also close to 90 yrs.

We also gave a crocheted tote and a small quilt 
to a lady who had a stroke.

Please pray.












I'm working on 15 throws 
for a nursing home near Hinckley.
They will be sent out before Thanksgiving.
