Jakey's Blankies Donations


A friend from my ward had a baby a little over a year ago that passed away due to heart complications. She is doing this fundraiser to earn money to make blankets for all the babies in the unit that Jake was in. She has all the information below if you are interested in donating that would be wonderful!

Hi Everyone,


This is a HUGE plea to anyone that is listening!! I am doing a jakey's blankies donation drive over the next week and 1/2. I want to try to earn as much money as possible to make blankies for the heart unit that Jake was in. I know it won't be nearly as much as we earned last year, (We were able to make120 blankies!!)
but even 50 blankies would be a miracle. The heart unit has had a HUGE response to these, both by the parents and the children. The parents snuggle with these blankies while the children are in surgery, and the kids snuggle with them the rest of the time. I LOVE it!

So, here is my plea:

I know times are tough, but if you are able to spare even $5, please donate to Jakey's blankies. You can donate on my paypal link on my blog:
(just to the right-it takes credit/debit cards, paypal or personal check payments).

Or you can mail a donation to:
Jakey's blankies
c/o Bishop Anderson-Summerfield Ward
2791 E Los Alamos Ct
Gilbert, AZ 85295


Please Make checks payable to: Summerfield Ward

Also, if you are able to copy and paste this post into your own blog, or put a note on your blog about the donations, I would really appreciate it. I want to get as many donations by Feb 9th (Jake's Angel day)-but I will never turn donations down! :)

Thank you all for the donations so far. I want to do as much as I can for Jake, and this is one of the last things I can do that will keep his memory alive at the hospital.

If you have any questions, please e-mail me at:

Again, THANK YOU ALL!!
Elizabeth
