It’s been just four days since the Raleigh chapter of Binky Patrol got off the ground. We have received our first donation of fabric, signed up Girl Scout Troop 1004 to make at least 48 binkies this year! And received a donation of 5 binkies from one of our Area Coordinators.
We have received 17 binkies and given our 1st binky to a young boy. We also have our first sponsor!! Molly Maid of North Raleigh has agreed to pay our postage.
We’re passing out handouts and telling everyone we know out Binky Patrol.
It’s been just four days since the Raleigh chapter of Binky Patrol got off the ground. We have received our first donation of fabric, signed up Girl Scout Troop 1004 to make at least 48 binkies this year! And received a donation of 5 binkies from one of our Area Coordinators. We’re passing out handouts and telling everyone we know about Binky Patrol. We’re also looking for groups who may be interested in working with the Binky Patrol. On Oct 10th, Girl Scout Troop 1004 got together to make binkies, watch a movie, and eat popcorn. Each girl made a no-sew fleece blanket. As some of the girls finished their blankets, they helped others complete theirs. Their leader gave each of the girls a fleece football, made from the fleece scraps!
Our first binky went to a young boy who has been struggling with emotional problems most of his life. He lost his biological family at 6 months, spent 3 years in a Russia orphanage, and was final adopted and came to live in Raleigh. He is currently in Holly Hill working very hard to get back home to his family. He was very grateful for the comfort the binky brought to him. His struggles are not over and he will probably be separated from his family for this next year. | |
