Hearts behind the handmade.

“Blessing Blankets grew from my desire to use the gifts God has given me to serve others and share the love of Jesus.

Walking through my own personal grief taught me that sometimes there are no words that can take away someone’s pain. A simple act of kindness, a comforting gesture, or simply knowing that someone cares can make a meaningful difference.

Those experiences deepened my desire to come alongside others during their difficult seasons and remind them that they are not alone.

I believe God can bring purpose from our pain and use our experiences to help us love others more deeply. Blessing Blankets is one way I am blessed to do that—bringing people together to use their time, talents, and hearts to bless someone who needs a little extra comfort, warmth, and hope.

My prayer is that every person we touch feels cared for, never alone, and reminded of the love of Jesus.”

“I am dedicated to sharing my God-given talents in servitude to others. I enjoy gathering people and creating a welcoming place where volunteers can share their skills, exchange helpful tips, and learn from one another.

Blessing Blankets grew from that same calling: to be the hands and feet of Jesus in a way anyone can join; stitch by stitch, blanket by blanket. While walking through struggles of my own, I understand how grounding it can be to wrap yourself in a blanket and be reminded that you are loved. I believe each blanket represents a community of people willing to stand in the gap during times of hardship, reminding every recipient that they are seen, supported, and never alone. I lead with warmth, practical order, and a deep conviction that no one in our community should face hardship without knowing they are deeply loved. God is for you, He is with you and He loves you!”

“My name is Laurel Radius, and I am originally from Michigan. In 2011, my husband and I made the move to Bradenton, Florida. I have been blessed to be married to a wonderful man of God for 36 years, and together we have two precious boys in Heaven and an amazing daughter who is such a blessing in our lives.

My faith in God is at the center of who I am, and I have a heart for loving and encouraging others through life's most difficult seasons. I believe God can bring hope, comfort, and healing even in the midst of heartbreak, and I am grateful for opportunities to walk alongside others and remind them they are never alone.”
