The selfless, giving nature of Santa Claus is imprinted on our lives at a very early age. Our vision of a kind-hearted, jolly old soul who willingly gives gifts to individuals he has never met  plants the seeds of generosity that help us to become charitable adults. When we give thanks for all that we have, the true spirit of the holiday season awakens within us a desire to lend a helping hand to those in need. There is remarkable power in the act of generosity — for both the giver and receiver. It brings people together, helps us dissolve our differences, and acknowledges our shared humanity.

Globally the COVID-19 pandemic has been very stressful and isolating for many individuals. In the past, family gatherings during the holiday season have offered an opportunity to reconnect with loved ones. Unfortunately this holiday season may need to be modified to reduce the spread of the virus in an effort to keep your friends, families, and communities healthy and safe. Ongoing concerns from healthcare professionals, hospitals filled to capacity, and a worsening epidemic have generated a need to scale down holiday plans.

The idea of comforting veterans with quilts came to her while her son was deployed in Iraq as a gunner sitting atop a Humvee. Her sense of panic 24-hours a day – every day — prompted her into action.
