Community groups show support for SANE program through gifts

A number of Upshur County organizations have made donations to ETMC Gilmer’s SANE program in preparation for its launch. Some have provided items that are often collected and kept as evidence, such as undergarments.
Others have provided handmade blankets. The following verse is attached to each blanket:
I can’t be there to hold your hand,
I can’t be there to hug you,
I can’t be there to dry a tear,
But there is one thing I CAN do.
I can sit here in my room at night
And think of you out there.
And make a blanket just for you
With tender loving care.
When you hold this blanket in your arms
And close your eyes real tight,
You can feel the love I tucked inside
When I made this late one night.
So dry your tears and smile a smile
You aren’t alone you see.
You have this special blanket—
You have a part of me.
