Thanks to a Peer Project Grant from My Friend Abby, Mia hosted a blanket-making event to include her friends…where 32 people came together to create nearly 30 handmade blankets!

These blankets will be donated to local organizations supporting teens’ mental health, including the Mary J. Sherlach Counseling Center and Yale.

“This project came from my desire to give back and care for others. Each handmade blanket is like sending a hug — a reminder of comfort, connection, and that someone truly cares.” — Mia

Proof that when peers come together, small acts can mean so much.
