 My wife and my daughter came up with the idea for my daughter's birthday. I was turning eight. They decided instead of receiving this year what they wanted to do was give something back. I thought it would be a really good choice to give birthday presents for my birthday party instead of getting birthday presents. She made birthday packs for other kids. Kids that aren't going to get a birthday, maybe kids that need something to boost their spirits. First we worked on these cards. There's a boy toy and a girl toy in one of the packages. And then there's some streamers, candles, cake mix, and three or four balloons are in each pack. And then in addition to that they got together with some other friends and they made these blankets. The Blanket Project was born because we wanted to serve the community. We wanted to do something to make a difference. It was like warm and soft. We had almost a hundred girls from ages eight to eleven. They got to help cut it and tie it and they were so excited because we did over forty of them. A blanket makes me feel like somebody is wrapping their arms around me and hugging me really warmly. I hope that when they get one of these blankets they feel like they weren't alone and that they are loved. They wanted to give those to the Victim Assistance Unit so they can get those out to children that they come across. Kids that need something to make them happy. Hello. Hi. Welcome to the Victim Assistance Unit. The Victim Assistance Unit, our primary mission involves on-scene response where DPD goes, we go. We go out to ideally provide that initial piece of psychological first aid. So who wants to tell me a little bit about what you guys brought and what this is all about? These are blankets that we made for all those children who don't have what we all have. For children, the blankets fill gaps in a sense of safety or security. It's a tangible gift that allows them to literally physically hang on to something when there's a sense of loss. And what about these? It's like a birthday party in a bag. These are going to find very quickly good homes and good people who need things. It makes me feel really, really good that the kids are going to get the birthday packs for their birthday soon. When you watch them doing something like that and see how much joy they get in giving to others, you know that they're just going to continue to do it in the future. Thank you again for everything that you're providing for all of the other families and children. They're going to be able to use these things. Very, very thoughtful.
