Many of my students join Nonprofit Ventures - Project Linus because they are compelled to make a positive impact in the life of a child struggling with a life-threatening illness or trauma by making them a handmade, new blanket to comfort them in their time of need. Students are eager to learn how to sew a quilt or crochet an entire blanket by hand. Many of our students were also impacted by the shooting at Saugus High School in our district where our Project Linus Chapter covered EVERY student with one of our handmade blankets. Our program has grown so large that we were given a larger space, but we do not have enough machines for all of our students to sew their projects as needed. Additionally, we are also faced with COVID restrictions, and while students are willing to learn via videos and Zoom, they do not all have machines at home to learn on. We are asking for help in acquiring new machines that do not need repair or cleaning. We will use these every semester for all four levels of the class.
