Oh my....... Last week, parts of north Texas were torn apart by tornadoes and then this week, it was Oklahoma. My heart aches, for all of those affected by these storms, and my thoughts and prayers are with these folks and the people who have been able to go and help them.
I wanted to share two possiblities for helping the victims, if you are wanting to help, and don't know where to give.
The first organization, Samaritan's Purse, is run by Franklin Graham. Franklin is Billy Graham's son. I have been helping them for a while and watching and reading what they do. It is truly amazing how they help. Here is a link to an
article about their help in Oklahoma. Down near the bottom of the article is a link to how they are helping in Texas.
Then on facebook, a friend posted this and I shared it on my wall on facebook, but thought I would put it on my blog too.
Knitters and crocheters are amazing. We are already getting such tremendous support for the Loops of Love for Tornado Victims initiative. We are working on di
...rect contacts in Moore and Shawnee to send blankets to, but in the meantime you can drop off at either location or mail to Loops of Love, 2042 Utica Square, Tulsa, OK 74114. Blankets of any size would be great, as would handmade face cloths. Here is a very simple, free blanket pattern using affordable, washable Marble Chunky: http://www.ravelry.com/projects/swiminfan/grandmothers-favorite You can make this child size or family size. As shown, it takes 2 skeins of Marble Chunky, available here: http://www.loopsknitting.com/store/pc/viewCategories.asp?idCategory=572 We will take 20% off any yarn purchased for Loops of Love, just mention it when ordering. And thank you in advance for your loving support - your time is the greatest gift.
