I would like a blanket because I live with two friends and my friend’s mom. I sleep on the leather couch every night in the living room and it is really cold because they don’t like to turn the heat on.I have one blanket and it’s really thin so I wake up really cold at night and it’s hard to sleep. Since I got the last blanket I haven’t been as grumpy and tired at school, and my work performance has improved.”
