When I started the “blanket babe” side of Stet&Wyld, I honestly wasn’t super sure what it would even turn into. If it would be successful. If people would support me by participating in the rafFłéś or not. If I would make it past the first blanket babe or it would be a fail and I would have to stop.
It’s so amazing to me, that before I started doing this, I never really heard much about childhood cancer or illnesses. I just wasn’t aware of it I’m assuming and it wasn’t ever something I paid a whole lot of attention to (sadly). Now; not a day goes by that I don’t think of a past blanket babe or catch word of someone who will be a future blanket babe. Since January of 2022, I’ve made blankets and shipped to 25+ kids all around the US.
Now I’m sitting here after I just got home from hand delivering McCain his chiefs blanket && my heart ACHES. Somehow, it seems like it is getting closer and closer to home. I went from hearing stories about children from strangers (who became family) to now hand delivering a blanket to a kid in the town I graduated high school from?! It makes me so nauseous thinking of all the kiddos and families going through such a nightmare.
I don’t really know where I’m going with this, but pleaseee just know that I’m so appreciative of you all being able to make this happen and get these extremely deserving kids a small ounce of comfort. You guys are what makes it happen and I can’t thank you enough!
Blanket babe families, WE SEE YOU. WE LOVE YOU. WE ARE HERE FOR YOU. 💕
