We recently received updates from Action Care Ambulance Service in Denver about our Firehouse Quilts of Colorado, Inc. snuggle quilts given to children they see on their emergency runs. It’s very heart-warming and motivating to hear how the children and their parents reacted to receiving our quilt. Below are the most recent updates we’d like to share with you.
