I got an invitation from one of my mom friends to join this cause Project Night Night http://www.projectnightnight.org/index.html.

“Project Night Night is dedicated to improving the lives of homeless children, one sweet dream at a time.  To this end, Project Night Night donates individual tote bags each filled with a security blanket, an age-appropriate book, and a stuffed animal to children (ages 0-10) in homeless shelters.”

I absolutely loved this idea. Every kid has, or should have, a security item that gives him/her a sense of security in our crazy world. My two-year-old has his “Ya Ya” which he carries around every where and doesn’t go to sleep with ought it. My kid has a home, a bed and two loving parents, and yet still feels the need for a comfort item. Of course there are organizations that provide important services, like treatments or shelters and food. However, for a child this seemingly small item represents something a lot bigger, or so I think…

You can also help by donating stuff at the local drop off locations http://www.projectnightnight.org/DonateItems.html
