They Own Their Story - And A Blanket | Jessica Hollins | TEDxColumbusWomen

From a small age, kids learn about "stranger danger" and yet it’s oftentimes stranger’s cars that we ask children to get into so that they can be kept safe. For over 16 years, My Very Own Blanket has eagerly given 75,000 handmade blankets to children in the foster care system. Join Founder & CEO, Jessica Hollins, to learn how her own children inspired this outreach of comforting children in the foster care system by providing them with a gift of love…and ultimately…hope. www.mvob.org This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
