FAIRLESS HILLS, Pennsylvania (WPVI) -- When children are facing their toughest challenges, it's quilters around the world looking to wrap them in warmth and care.

'Quilts for Kids' is a nonprofit started by Yardley woman, Linda Arye, nearly 24 years ago.

"I know what it was like to have a child in the hospital who was not able to have her stuffed animal. I really wanted to do something that would help other children...have something to hold on to, like a quilt. It's there for not only comfort, but it's there for friendship," said Arye.

Since then, the project is not just making an impact here at home, but all over the country.
