Annie's Kindness Blankets Campaign

My niece, Anne Marie Varney passed away on March 30, 2015, she was 35 years young and a mother of three beautiful  girls.  The night Annie left us was one of the hardest nights of our lives and the months that go by aren't getting any easier.  She was too young, too beautiful and too loved to not share this world with us any longer.  To know Annie, was to know laughter, love. loyalty and compassion.  But, the one thing Annie excelled at was being kind.  She wrapped everyone she met in her love and kindness.  Because of this, we decided to start spreading her love with a kindness campaign. 

We (her daughters, my daughter, her friends and I) have started a blanket donation program called "Annie's Kindness Blankets" to honor her memory.   Our goal is to make and deliver hundreds of homemade blankets to area hospitals for any child who needs some extra warmth and love during their hospital stay.  

We have had an overwhelming response from people who want to donate  money for the material to make these blankets in Annie's honor that we decided a "go fund me" page was the best way to donate to the campaign.  The money collected will go directly to buying material to make the kindness blankets.  We are hoping we make enough blankets to deliver during the holiday season.  But, also continue after the holidays as well.  

Our hope is to spread kindness, warmth  and love while keeping Annie's spirit alive.  We consider this a kindness pay it forward program.....one small act of kindness, can change a life.   I am hoping we change many.   Thank you so very much.  I am sure, Annie is smiling down on her kindness pay it forward program.
