i understand that some may be hatin on the idea of sending plushies.... sure there are other things that the Haitians need... and charities without enough money to fully assist... but what about the children who lost their toys... the girl without a doll or boy without his teddy bear.... these plushies could help THOSE kids who need something a little more... like a friend...

Never underestimate the power of a warm blanket

@athenamd that's awesome! the bit about the plushie is very true, but stuffed animals can make kids even in the most dire of situations so happy!

at first i thought they were going to make a box for your pets while you were on vacation because of the thumbnail....

Check out my tutorial for a lightweight blanket, perfect for Haitian weather. I made 4 and sent them to Corinne already. Plus I sent a plushie, just one. I'd rather they have a clean blanket to lie on or shelter them.
