How We Are Giving Back

Throughout the month of June and July, Giving the Dollar and Fleece & Thank You have partnered up for one common goal. To give back to children in need and help provide comfort to kids and their families while putting a smile on their face. For every $1 we get, Giving the Dollar will be giving 100% of that back to help make blankets for children in hospitals. We can give these kids and their families one of the first reasons to smile during an uncertain time, one of the first reasons to have hope when they see something bright and colorful waiting for them on the bed.

The Story of

Fleece & Thank You is a nonprofit organization that was started in 2015 with a mission to comfort hearts and create smiles for children in hospitals. The story of Fleece & Thank You starts when the founder, Nicholas Kristock, was volunteering at various hospitals in Australia and had met beautiful 4-year-old Sophie. Sophie was battling one of the toughest forms of childhood cancer known as neuroblastoma. While children at that age should be playing with dolls, racecars, or running outside, Sophie was in and out of the hospital undergoing treatment. Despite everything she was going through she remained strong with a smile beaming on her face. These interactions with Sophie and other kids like her helped inspire Nick to give back.
