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.”
