A CHALLENGE FOR YOU ALL

[Hoos]

I am going  to challenge you all to do something ===

I am now in Clearwater, Fla (for  the winter months only) and since I have been retired and getting a  bit bored  can u believe that??   but  any way   I cant  sit around  and  not  be crocheting or knitting      I have contacted the V A hospitals and found  out that so many of our  wounded , disabled veterans are wheel chair  bound and could use laprobes   I  am  sure  they hate to have  ppl starring  at their legs or lack of

 

so MY CHALLENGE TO YOU ALL     PLEASE CONSIDER MAKING LAP ROBES      ABOUT 36'' X 48'' IN BRIGHT COLORS AND TAKE THEM TO THE LOCAL VA HOSPITALS OR  MAIL THEM TO ONE IF YOU DONT  HAVE  ANY NEAR YOU      IT WONT COST A  LOT  TO  MAIL THEM OUT IF THAT IS WHAT YOU HAVE  TO DO   

IF YOU NEED TO FIND OUT WHERE THE NEAREST TO U IS CALL YOUR LOCAL V F W OR AMERICAN LEGION POSTS THEY CAN FIND OUT  FOR U  THERE IS ONE NEAR ME THAT HAS A UNIT FOR SPINAL CORD INJURIES AND THE WOMAN TOLD ME T HERE ARE OVER 100 PATIENTS THERE    SO I HAVE  MY WORK CUT  OUT FOR  ME

 THANKS IN ADVANCE      PLEASE POST ANY IDEAS YOU ALL MAY HAVE ON THESE ROBES     AND  REMEMBER  THERE ARE WOUNDED WOMEN AS WELL AS MEN

 

THANKS AGAIN

Hello, and kudos to you for the support. I myself am a Disabled Veteran and I do a lot to support the soldiers monthly. I adopted 200 of them and send out things constantly. I am very interested in this laprobe project. What exactly do they look like. I have visited a VA Nursing Home because I had a uncle their but he recently passed. But if you could post a picture for me so that I could get an idea of what you are talking about.

I dont have a picture to post but if you knit or crochet or sew  they are just like a throw blanket of 36inches wide by 48inches long

just enough to go over the laps and cover the legs when they are in a wheel chair

I crochet and knit a lot of them in bright colors   a lot of red white and blue also  

thanks for asking  

may I add u to my friend list??

I am an Air Force brat of 20 yr, AF wife of 4 yr and an AF mom of 20 more yrs
