LAWRENCE CO. – Denise Doyle, a resident of Lawrence County, has donated more than 700 blankets to first responders in an effort to provide comfort to children experiencing traumatic events, according to Lawrence County Sheriff Greg Day.
She not only donates to the Sheriff’s Department but to local volunteer fire Departments and Becky’s Place.
“Special thanks go to Denise Doyle for the generous donation of homemade blankets. These blankets made with love will no doubt provide needed comfort to children during traumatic events our officers work,” said Sheriff Day. “Ms. Doyle made 700 blankets this year and distributed them to police and fire departments around Lawrence County. Thank you for your compassion and hard work.”
Doyle wants no credit for what she does, it’s just unlimited love sewed into every blanket. Doyle’s mother served on the Marion Township Volunteer Fire Department board for more than 36 years and this is one of the ways of honoring her mother.
Doyle wanted to make the ladies and children at Becky’s Place smile, “We thank her from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness.”
