Comfort Afghans
As much as we'd like to forget about it, there are always events in our lives
that cause us pain and despair. No matter how much we would like to avoid it,
we will always know someone who is experiencing one of these times.
We have found that during these times, one of the things that helps the most is
knowing that other people care; that others are aware of our pain and despair,
and that they want to help.
We couldn't think of a much better way to get that point across than with a Comfort
Afghan . A Comfort Afghan is a collection of granny and/or sampler
squares that have been hand-made by a very special person somewhere in the
world. The squares are then given to another special volunteer who assembles
them into an afghan and touches it up to send on to the person who is in need
of comfort.
The knowledge that so many people throughout the world with all this love and
caring in their hearts for a stranger would create these squares and build a
present that will last a lifetime brings peace, joy and something warm to
cuddle up with after experiencing tragedy or loss.
