I just returned from a trip to the northeast with the Hunk. We actually drove through the fringes of Hurricane Sandy to reach Pennsylvania before the storm hit our destination. The area we were in sustained only minor damage and we lost power for less than 24 hours. We still had gas, so our showers were hot and the stove worked.
So many others were not so fortunate. According to WNYC, 360,000 people in New Jersey are still without power. At least another 11,000 were added to their numbers from this most recent storm.
Today it snowed.
Victoria Findaly Wolfe, President of the NYC Mod Quilt Guild, has put out a call for blankets to distribute to families left in the cold from Hurricane Sandy and this most recent Nor’easter. Blankets/Quilts can be store-bought or homemade – and any size.
You can find the details HERE.
Even though the Peninsula MQG is not yet officially meeting, I love that we can still count on our quilty friends to answer the call to serve.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart for your generosity!
