"Don't be afraid....I am here!" Teddy Bears
Alaine from New York our Love's coordinator with many teddy bears for the children made by group members.
Alaine is a grandmother who is fighting for her rights!
Children of domestic violence and other family separation times are traumatic. What does a child have for comfort when the only family and home they know is drastically taken from them? A friend to hug and to hold during the toughest times.
A Child Protection Service in Long Island, New York is working with our Love's Many Cloths gal, Alaine Kaidash to provide "Don't be afraid....I am here!" teddy bears for children of all ages that are taken into custody for foster care or other temporary "support for safety" situations. The teddy bears will be transported in the car trunks of certified CPS and DSS workers to be given to children during separation moments. This will be an ongoing need and it can lead into a nation-wide delivery opportunity for all crafters.
Commissioner of Nassau County, Dr. Imhof, and Department of Human Services staff with Alaine with the first delivery of 100 teddy bears on Sept.18th, 2009
Over 200 bears have now been delivered!
The first award presented to Alaine on October 22, 2009 by the commissioner Dr. Imhof at a dinner for Foster Care families. The assistant is holding several teddy bears that Alaine brought to be presented to children next month (November) at an Adoption Ceremony where the new families will be legally united together.
Immediate teddy bear needs are RIGHT NOW! Case workers are waiting for teddy bears for their trunks ASAP!

Hats and Blankets for Children of the Orphanage
Many children of China are placed in orphanage care. The old ritual of only one child per family and all girls are orphans still is the norm in China today. Orphanages are very full with 4-5 children per one bed and the conditions are poor. Blankets are needed and hats for all ages.
Karen Bradley travels to China at least once a year. She has two adorable children that are adopted from China. She knows first hand the conditions of the orphanages and has vowed to help them. Her main business is in the "scrubs" industry in the New York area. She uses the scraps from the designing and making of medical scrubs for quilted blankets that she takes with her to China to the orphanages. In the past several years, she has taken up to 10,000 new quilts to the children.
