Serving the Greater Omaha and
Council Bluffs Area Since 2003
From time to time we receive letters from blanket
recipients, nurses, and others who are familiar with
how Omaha Project Linus blankets touch the lives of
children. Here are a few special samples of letters we
have received.
Ginny,

Thank you for the fleece tie blanket.  It really keeps me warm,
that's the best feeling to have when your away from home.  I
picked the blue, Polar Bear blanket.  Thank You!

Dear Ginny -

Thank you for making me the blanket.  It was really
beautiful.  The blanket is really soft and warm.  It's
purple my favorite color, and has butterflies on it
which I love.  The blanket fits me well.  I really
appreciate it a lot.  Thanks Cassi A.

Dear Ms. Ginny,

Hello, I am Danielle, a New Orleans Boys Town youth
and I am writing you this letter to let you know how much I
appreciate the blanket.  So I wanted to say thank you so
much for just taking time out of your busy schedule to
think about me.  I am really grateful.  May God bless you
and I wish you well.

Thanks again!!

Love,
Danielle
Dear Ginny,

Thank you for the blankets you made.  I wish you could have seen how
everyone's face lit up when we saw the blankets.  We got so excited as we
all gathered around Father Peter to pick one out.  There was so many it
was hard to choose, but we each found one we liked.  It's nice to know
people care so much when they don't even know us.  Thank you so much!

Hello,
I do not know if I am contacting the correct person. Our 15
month-old son had surgery very early today at
Emmanuel/Allegiant Hospital in Omaha Nebraska. As parents we
were nervous (to be expected), even when it is a simple
procedure.

We want to thank you so very much for the blanket that the
nurse brought in for him before his surgery. It was filled with
bright cheery colors and so soft and perfect in size! He took
his "newly adopted" blankie with him and when he was returned
to us quickly he snuggled with it.

Our son is home doing fine and he is resting on the sofa with
his blanket. He seems to have really become attached to it
already!! Thanking you we are!! Please help me get this thank
you to those who take the time to make these for the precious
little ones. God Bless you all!

Dear Ginny -

We would like to thank your organization for the very generous donation of 60 blankets for children in the Council Bluffs
School District.

Each of the elementary school nurses will be receiving one of the blankets for children when they come into the office
sick.  The nurses who have received their blankets have all been just delighted with them.

Each of our 10 Kids and Company School Age Child Care Programs will receive one blanket for children who are tired or
sick.  This will be so much better for students than wrapping them up in their coats, which is what is currently done.

A family with 10 children recently lost their home to fire here in Council Bluffs.  I've talked to the school and will be
sending several blankets over for this family to help them to begin to put their lives back together.

I know these blankets will be appreciated by the children who will benefit from the generosity of project Linus.  We will let
you know when we need more blankets.

Sincerely,
Kathy Sorrell
Executive Director
Dear Ginny:                                                                                                August 1, 2006

Many, many thanks to you and your colleagues at Project Linus for your most recent and generous in-kind
contribution of sixty-five blankets with Beanie Babies for the children who come to Project Harmony.  The
blankets are a real comfort to these children!

On behalf of our Board of Directors, staff, partner agencies and, most importantly, the children we serve,
thank you for your continued interest and wonderful support.

With gratitude and every good wish.
