The inspiration came out of the most tragic of circumstances.
“We saw the need for something for these parents while they were grieving a loss,” said Dacie Matchett, founder of Prairie Blankets for Angels Sask.
The organization began three years ago in Regina and in the beginning, they focused on providing what they termed “Angel Blankets” for local hospitals.
The idea was a simple one. Volunteers who knit, sew, crochet or quilt make blankets on their own and send them on to the organization’s administration teams to be distributed to those facing the worst moments of their lives.
