The Project Linus Chapter of Wake County, NC was started in 1996 by Susie Holmes. Over 50,000 blankets have been delivered to many local groups and agencies that help seriously ill or traumatized children who need a HUG from a blanket including: Wake Med Hospitals, Rex Hospital, Duke Hospital NICU, Safe Space (for children of abused women receiving support), Hospice (for their Reflections program for grieving children and teens), Make a Wish Foundation, the children at Salvation Army, Children's Flight of Hope, and Wake County Social Services.

Another "Thank You"

A blanket not only comforts a child, it can inspire someone to make a blanket for another child.
Hi,

My name is Crystal and my son Caleb recently had a visit to the emergency room. The nurse gave Caleb one of your blankets and he loves it. It really comforted him during the long hours that we were in the hospital. This was a week ago and he still sleeps with it and carries it around everywhere.

My mother sees how this blanket effected Caleb and now she really wants to get involved to help other children.  How can she get information?
Thank you. 
For information on how you can get involved with Project Linus, check out the other posts and pages on our blog, or contact the Raleigh Chapter Coordinator, Susie Holmes.  To locate other chapters across the country, visit the Project Linus National Headquarters website, http://www.projectlinus.org/chapter.php
