SAN ANTONIO Children living at the Roy Maas Youth Alternatives Counseling Center now have 50 new fleece blankets, thanks to a donation from Sams Covers. The non-profit organization was founded by Samantha Sanchez, a graduating senior from Ronald Reagan High School, and aims to provide a sense of comfort for children living in emergency shelters. A lot of kids, because they go through trauma, physical touch is something thats difficult for them, Sanchez said. "So, these blankets provide that sense of physical touch and attachment. Since the non-profits founding in 2015, approximately 3,000 blankets have been distributed so far to children living in emergency shelters.
