Wish Upon a Hero is a website for ordinary people to post their wishes and to grant other people's wishes. It's a great way to "pay it forward" or to trade small favors when times are tough.
Several families on that site had wished for weighted blankets, which are very expensive to purchase, for their special needs children. A few very nice quilters/seamstresses granted their wishes. Taking things one step further, still other wish-granters donated fleece and other materials to some of the quilters.
One such quilter saw my post on our blog site about weighted blankets and contacted me! What a nice person! The world is a wonderful place! 2009 rocks! She offered to make Wyatt a weighted blanket for the cost of shipping. I wanted to also pay for materials and she said that was not necessary but that I could "pay it forward" and contribute to the materials for someone else's blanket if I liked.
