Help purchase a Weighted blanket

Donation protected
As many of you know, I have been making weighted therapy blanket for the past several years. These blankets are therapeutic to many children with special medical problems. I make these blankets at a minimal cost so they remain affordable to everyone. Even with the low cost, I have many families that can not afford that. I continue to donate blankets where I see the need. I am asking for help in covering the cost of the pellets and the shipping on these blankets. I increased my goal of $500 to $1000 because I have met the original goal of $500 and was able to send out many blankets thanks to the generous support of many. It has been a year since I met my previous goal- with the new school year many children are in need of weighted blnkets, lap pads and vests, so I am looking for more help in getting these items to the families that do not have the extra money for this expense. I  have set a goal of $1000 to continue on with my mission. This is will help cover the cost of the pellets and shipping!
The benefits of Weighted Blankets;
Weighted blankets are one of the
most effective tools for helping those difficult to calm down, high energy sensory kids.
Children with excessively high energy levels find these blankets or weighted lap pads soothing for bedtime or throughout the day. They can bring one to school for quiet times. They can wrap them around their shoulders or whole body, or place them on their lap during desk work and reading times for the extra calming deep pressure input their bodies crave.
The weighted blanket produces what's called DPTS, or deep pressure touch stimulation. Many people have described it as the "feeling of being hugged," but it's much more than that. DPTS works in the same way as a full-body massage.
