"I am both thrilled and humbled to be able to
participate in the Covered With Love project that makes beanies
and blankets for our nationwide Children's and Shriner's
Hospitals. Josh's music has inspired myself and so many
talented, giving and caring women across our country and abroad who want
to do this work for the kids. Being the aunt of a child we
lost to cancer, who was a patient at the Women's and Children's Hospital
of Buffalo, NY, it is only fitting that I should want to be a participant
in this wonderful heartwarming project. The need is there, and
it is a way for me to give back in Josh's name to something that is very
precious and near and dear to my heart. I am fortunate to have
met so many wonderful ladies who are participating in this
project. Thank you Josh and your entire family for allowing us
to make a difference for the wee
ones."

"Ditto here. I
loved working on the project, but was sad to think that children had to be
seriously ill to receive our gifts. Hopefully, the little totes and pillow
cases will brighten their days in the hospital."

"I would like to give my heartfelt thank-you to the Groban Family and Grobanites For Charity
for providing the Covered With Love Team an opportunity to serve the
young patients at the Shriner's Hospitals and the Children's Hospitals
around the country. I add to this my sincere
thank you to the ladies who have made this project the resounding
success it has become. It came from an idea, but you
made it a reality. The smiles that you have put on
the faces of children facing illness and adversity is
unforgettable. The love that you put into each beanie
and blanket shines through with such warmth everytime.
These young children truly are Covered With Love." |

"On behalf of all the staff, the
babies and parents of the Neonatal Intensive Care and Critical Care Unit
of Childrens Hospital of Los Angeles, I just wanted to express our
appreciation for the donations of baby hats and beanies your organizations
have provided us in October 2007.
It is becoming all too rare these days
to find a group of people that go to great lengths to make life a little
easier and more normal for the families experiencing personal crises that
are not highlighted by media attention. You have given us something
we most definitely need. Whenever we look at and use the infant
hats, we will think of you with fondness and heartfelt
gratitute."
From the Neonatal Intensive and
Critical Care Unit
Children's Hospital of Los

"We appreciate
your thoughtfulness and compassionate consideration for our little ones.
Your generosity is sincerely appreciated and is a helpful factor in
carrying on the work dedicated to, and provided for free, for the
children. Please know that this project means a lot to this
hospital.
The
bags and pillow cases are spectacular. We spread them out and put them on
display in our Board Room for a day or so that our staff and hospital
guests could come up and see them before we put them to use. The fun and
colorful material will appeal to our children aged from birth to 18 yrs
old. We wish all the Heavenly Dreams and Tender Totes project participants
great pleasure and a huge sense of pride and accomplishment for a project
well done We are thrilled, honored, and grateful!"

I can honestly say that these wonderful projects have
been food for my soul. Last year something deep inside me said that I
needed to get involved in some charitable projects. I really looked around
me and realized that I might not have a lot, but there were so many people
out there with less, that could benefit from what I might be able to do.
SInce I don't have a lot of money, what I could offer of myself was time.
I get a rewarding feeling deep inside knowing that I am sharing part of
myself with others in need.
Thank you to everyone involved. You are
all wonderful!!!
