Inspiring Journey of a Young Hero: The Story of Blankies for My Buddies

In South Fulton County, Georgia, young C.J. Matthews has turned a family tragedy into a source of comfort for children across America. At just five years old, C.J. faced the loss of his sister, which deeply affected him. To cope and help others, he founded Blankies for My Buddies, a nonprofit organization that donates blankets, books, and food to children who are grieving, sick, or homeless. Supported tirelessly by his parents, C.J.'s efforts have not only awarded him multiple honors for his dedicated volunteerism but have also supported his own healing process. Join us in exploring C.J.'s journey from grief to giving.
