BRENTWOOD, New Hampshire (WMUR) A community service project will help to keep some seniors warm this winter.
Blankets arrived Wednesday at Rockingham County Nursing Home, courtesy of some students at Sanborn Regional High School. Spearheading the project was Dacey Schreiber, who also works as a licensed nursing assistant at a nursing home.
“We were only going to make, like, a dozen in the beginning, but then once I started the GoFundMe, we raised all the money and we ended up being able to make a lot more,” Schreiber said.
With about a dozen other students pitching in, they were able to make 80 blankets. Student Janie Donahue, who lost a great-grandmother to COVID-19 this spring, said she knows all too well the loneliness that nursing home residents have to deal with.
