TAO Blanket Project Maria Fiorille started making blankets for transplant patients in memory of her mother, Sharon. Sharon was a two time liver recipient who passed away in January 2007. Maria had made her Mom a blanket during her stay at Strong, which she enjoyed so much they had to struggle to take it home and wash it! Maria purchased fleece fabric to tie the blankets together, and some quilted fabric that needs borders. TAO is helping to finish the blankets from the fabric purchased, placing the commemerative tag on the blankets, distributing the blankets at Strong to the transplant patients and funding any future blankets. We need your assistance in making blankets, donating materials or monetary donations. Knitted or crocheted blankets are welcomed also. Thank you!

If you'd like to donate fabric, or make a blanket contact Debbie at auggieday@aol.com or (585) 377-6028. Monetary donations can be made out to Transplant Awareness Organization, PO Box 23552, Rochester, NY 14692-3552.
