Last week, Joy picked up about 40 quilts for their clients at Gateway Battered Women's Shelter.  They have handed out over half of them already!  The women and children love all of the colors and patterns on the quilts.  One little boy brings his quilt with him everywhere. 

He says it helps make him feel better when he is sad or scared.

 “Thank you so much for thinking of us and we would love more quilts in the future!  We have given a quilt to every woman and child thathas come through our shelter. 

Thanks again!”

(Two weeks later, we gave her 24 more quilts for the holidays.)

From Joy @ Gateway Battered Women’s Shelter

Dear Ladies of Firehouse Quilts,

We were able to pass out your quilts in 1 day to Gateway clients!  The children in my program were very excited about their new quilts.  We do not have the pics developed yet of staff and quilts but I will send them to you as soon as I get them.

Thank you so much for thinking of us!

Sincerely, Joy (Children’s Counselor)
