We all deserve warmth...
The temperature where I live is pretty constant, somewhere between 40°-65°. However, our winters have been getting pretty cold lately, sometimes down to 25° with pouring rain. Unfortunately, we also have a pretty large homeless population. It's not unusual to see someone sleeping on a bench, the ground, under some bushes, etc...There is one woman who sleeps on the same bench pretty much every night wrapped in blankets. She's out there in the open, every day, even in the rain. I drove by her one day on my way to work and she literally had frost on her blanket. Frost, on a human being.
These blankets are cheap enough that I buy them to hand out to houseless people who look like they need to keep warm/dry. They are small enough to be carried in a pocket, have many different uses, and I buy the camouflage ones so they can be used somewhat discretely-I hope that someone can get a better nights sleep because of them.
