What is Blankets of Hope?
A long time very special project at Soldiers' Angels, Blankets of Hope is simply that - a blanket created from love by our members to provide hope and comfort to a wounded hero during one of the most difficult and vulnerable times of their lives.  A dedicated team of Angels works daily to create homemade blankets adorned with beautiful artwork, pins and buttons, drawings from children and message of hope, support and cheer. These Blankets of Hope are part of our First Response Backpacks that are sent to Combat Support Hospitals in the Middle East, major medical facilities in Germany and around the world, and to some military hospitals here at home.

Why give a Blanket of Hope?
When a soldier is wounded, he or she is removed from the battle field and taken to the nearest medical facilities to be cared for. That soldier is most often times evacuated to Germany before making his or her way here to the United States for further treatment. The soldiers' personal belongings as well as clothing and personal items are not immediately forwarded to him or her for quite some time and they are often left with just the uniform they are wearing. The First Reponse Backpack addresses the personal needs of the soldier, but the Blanket of Hope provides something else - it provides warmth and comfort for the wounded soldier, and it provides that soldier with the knowledge that someone cares about him and is thinking and praying for him at that very moment. This is a powerful thing for a wounded hero. To know that someone cares. We are very proud of this project and what it has done for those brave wounded heroes.

Now You Can Get Involved Too!!!
Even if you do not have the creativity or know how, you too can create a Blanket of Hope to be sent to a brave wounded soldier.
