Wounded Warriors Program

[armywifetx]

I am making blankets hats and wheelchair bags for the wounded warriors program here on post they are in need of these items if anyone could help or wouldnt mind maybe making squares or somethign small they could really use them as it is starting to get very chiily here and they are pretty full there at the hospital and transition units Thanks everyone for considering

.. Great Program... I spend lots of time on the wounded warrior floor at Ft Bragg ( Womack) and with Fisher House...I heard orthopedics were being sent to TX... thanks for doing this.. if I weren't working full speed with the TBI/ PTSD soldier here in NC, I 'd help yu out... I DID want to bump this post up though cause its a worth while cause

What size blankets? Lapghans? Twin size blankets? I could maybe get one done in the next couple of months. (Is that taking too long?) I could certainly whip off some hats.

ty minwife i am so excited at being able to help them out more my hubby leaves in jan and he keeps goin now if hobby lobby calls and says uve bought em out i cant complain lol since your doin such good the men and women are wonderful there and are so appreciative as well as the families i started working on small blankets to since i saw a family with 3 young ones there today thought it would be nice to have some of those around too thanx for the comment and the bump

 

detroit any size will do there are all walks of life that come through those doors some are in wheelchairs some still in between and then the families as well the hats are a good thing right now too as it is getting chilly and im sure it will stay this cold for a few

 

thanks to all that responded i really am grateful and i know the troops are too

Okay, I'll see if I can get a few hats done and will PM you for your address.

I think I do better at making squares or blankets; as soon as I finish the rr I'm making for someone else's charity, I'll make a lapghan for yours.

ty so much hun that would be greatly appreciated

[detroitdeb]

I found a quick pattern that uses two strands of yarn at once with a large hook, so it'll go quickly.

[detroitdeb]

I started the lapghan.

Hi I live in South Texas and would be honored to help out with this worthy cause! I have hats, scarves, and I believe a lapghan or two around here, plus a scrapghan that's a large hexagon. I'll get it all together and then ask where to send it.

 

DetroitDeb, I love your finished afghan! Such pretty colors! Really cute pattern!

[detroitdeb]

Thank you so much, Lauren!! I enjoyed making it, it went fairly fast (when I worked on it and wasn't distracted with other projects).

I went to the website but cant find info about donating hats, afpgahns ect. Maybe Im over looking it, as the website is pretty information packed. Could you point me in the right direction?

[armywifetx]

I am donating to the local chapter at Fort Hood the info is not on the website as I actually go to the hospital and deliver them myself as I live about 1 min from it on the post itself

The Military Hospitals I work with are usually through the American Red Cross, the Chaplins' Office or the Public Affairs Office - try contacting these groups. Also it's good to explain the items and number you think you will be donating. Good luck!!

P.S. which base are you near?

[moppet]

Fort Knox. And thanks for the info.

Howdy!

 

My unmarried son got out of the army this last Friday. Yeah!!! Anyway, he said things were hard on the Army families. I think it is so cool that you're not just surviving, but reaching out to others.

 

I'll see if I can pull some things together for you.
