Lehi organization continues to provide comfort for Ukrainian refugees by making & sending quilts
Tetiana Ashley is a native of Crimea who now lives in Vineyard.
Since last spring, Ashley has volunteered her time helping Wrap The World With Quilts in Lehi, a non-profit charity dedicated to gathering and sending quilts to Ukrainian refugees in Ukraine, Poland, Moldova and Romania. "We send a message with every quilt that just says: 'We see you and we're hoping the best for you and your country,'" said Halladay.
"To go to that refugee center and be able to have our armfuls of quilts and be able to pass them out to the refugees and to children and be able to give them a warm hug of love... it was life-changing," said Jan Crays, a volunteer with Wrap The World With Quilts.
