Stanford Rotary Blankets Appeal

It’s getting cold outside. Time to get our winter woolies out and keep warm. However, for many children who live in shacks with no safe heating at all, winter is not fun. Imagine getting into a cold bed (often just some planks on the floor with a thin mattress) with not even a warm blanket to snuggle into.

On the other hand, we have the elderly, who are also very vulnerable in the cold weather, particularly to flu or even pneumonia.

We’re appealing to you, our kind and generous supporters, to once again dig deep and sponsor a few blankets for those in need. We’re estimating the need to be between 150 and 180 blankets this year.

Deposits can be made directly into our bank account as follows:
