I have several different ways I give back. My main is through my 10% donation of all sales to the Michael J Fox Foundation supporting Parkinson's Research.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst, the contribution is pillowcases for children and teens in need of something fun and cheerful to lay their heads on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSecond, I chose to make receiving-size blankets for infants that needed some extra bundling or warmth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThird, little blankets for toddlers or lap blankets for the elderly \u0026amp; veterans. (Roughly need the same size)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFourth, dog or cat beds and toys out of my scraps are too small for the above for those animals in shelters that need some comfort and warmth and a place to feel safe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFifth, scarves for the homeless or less fortunate. Every winter I donate a couple hundred scarves to local churches to give out with their mitten projects and other donations for those less fortunate. Simple fleece scarves with cute prints and fringe. The first year was 250 to my daughter's preschool, this year was 500. I make them year round so come cold months there is an abundance for as many as need them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSixth, is in the process of mapping out financing. Water-resistant blankets for the homeless \u0026amp; homeless veterans. Made out of fleece and nylon which holds in warmth and allows some protection from the elements. I love all the people making no-sew blankets for the homeless but I started to see a flaw one day: cleanliness ability and water issue, double-sided fleece gets super saturated once wet on one rainy day. I wanted to make these so they could stay warm and dry and roll them up with Velcro strapping and easily take it with them. I also wanted to find local laundromats willing to help the homeless wash and dry their blankets, even if it was a laundry card they could get from a shelter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost of my donations are items I also make and sell but it was my way to get people to think and look and be involved. Tying the community into spreading the warmth and helping an artist keep creating and raising a family! If you have ideas, questions, or a project you need help with, please send me a message I'd love to talk with you.\u003c\/p\u003e","image":{"created_at":"2018-05-13T15:22:09-04:00","alt":"","width":4656,"height":2620,"src":"\/\/theheartroomhandmade.com\/cdn\/shop\/collections\/20171119_104140.jpg?v=1526239329"}},{"id":43757994028,"handle":"pillowcases-1","updated_at":"2024-12-28T14:15:24-05:00","published_at":"2018-05-07T22:06:28-04:00","sort_order":"best-selling","template_suffix":"","published_scope":"global","title":"Pillowcases","body_html":"\u003ch3

I love to make pillowcases! In fun prints, in cool fabrics, designs and just something quick and easy to do.
I also love to give back to those that need. I know there are a few organizations that are giving pillowcases to children with cancer and those are amazing (Ryan's Cases for Smiles) but I wanted to reach more children on a broader level. Each pillowcase is affixed with a card that says it was handmade and donated in honor of the purchaser.
I decided to offer a donation option. For $5 (roughly the cost to make one) you can buy one of my handmade pillowcases and i will send it to an organization that needs to brighten up any child's day, week or year. I have found a group of ladies that has chapters all across the country helping children in need, disabled, terminally ill or displaced and have chosen to send them my pillowcases to them to distribute as needed.
I also work with a woman, Cindy, at cindysbakingangels.com who sends pillowcases to our troops for some love an support.
I also have another listing for donating blankets to baby's, toddler's and veterans. I also am in the process of making lap blankets for nursing homes because they need love and cuddles too.
If you have any question's or even need a large donation for your organization, please send me a message and we can discuss further.
