On Monday, December 13th, the day that Trevor Tonsing would have turned 17, 18 staff members at Eldercare Services worked hard to make as many blankets as they could to donate to Trevor’s foundation, Trevor’s Eagle Blanket Foundation. Trevor was born with a congenital heart defect that took his life last year shortly after his 16th birthday. As part of his requirements to attain the rank of Eagle Scout, his project was to make these blankets. Now his foundation works hard to collect fleece tie blankets to donate to the children at the Oakland Children’s Hospital, the very place he had several heart surgeries over the years.
We continue in his project with joy and love and are honored to carry out Trevor’s dream to make these beautiful, warm blankets to give to the children at Oakland Children’s Hospital in the name of his foundation, Trevor’s Eagle Blanket Foundation.
The festive blankets, made by 18 generous staff members at Eldercare Services, will be presented to the foundation on Wednesday, December 29th, 2010. The blankets will then be presented to the children at the Oakland Children’s Hospital. The foundation has already received over 1,000 blankets.
