A sick child gave a "stuffed toy bear" to 5-year-old Ashley Imbrogno when she was hospitalized with a life-threatening illness at Rainbow Babies and Children's Hospital in 2006. Ashley was so inspired by that kind act, she wanted to provide that same feeling of warmth to others. Inspired, informed and determined to make a difference, Ashley began Warming The Hearts with its purpose to deliver blankets to sick hospitalized children. With the help of her mom Karen, she created a simple process to produce fleece tie blankets. In 2008, Ashley raised $8,000 and delivered 900 blankets to local hospitals.
