Marie Keough from Ontario
This is a small note from the webmaster in regards to the founder.

I believe Marie deserves credit on her own site for her determination and fortitude in making this site a reality. Faced with a personal handicap of her own she has overcome distractions and setbacks in her dream to provide a bit of comfort to those less fortunate than most of us. Although the idea of providing blankets and warmth for the homeless has many homes on the web, she decided to forge ahead with the belief that another site is another chance to get the idea out, with the hope that it will prompt a few extra people to help out in this worthwhile cause.

I salute her kind nature and her uppermost respect for all in need.
