A MOTHER'S STORY


My son Jacob recently had to be admitted to Goodall Hospital with appendicitis and subsequent complications.  Jacob is 11 and has significant autism.  He was very frightened.  One of the nurses brought him a Red Sox blanket from Project Linus.  He immediately attached to it as it was soft and he loves the Red Sox. Due to his autism, transitions and new things are very scary/upsetting to him.   It really helped him transition through the next 6 days and went everywhere with him.  It helped him remain calm and has not left his side since.  

 
We can not thank you an Project Linus enough.  It made a very scary time for Jacob so much less scary.  It was very appreciated!!
