🚨 PLEASE HELP ME FIND MY CHILDHOOD BLANKET — $1,000 REWARD 🚨
UPDATE AT BOTTOM
updated picture in comments!!
This is a long shot, but I'm desperately hoping someone might be able to help me.
During a recent move, I believe my childhood blanket may have been accidentally donated. I've searched everywhere I can think of, including the donation store, but haven't had any luck.
My mom handmade this blanket for me when I was little, and I've had it for almost my entire life. It's been my biggest source of comfort for as long as I can remember, and losing it has been absolutely heartbreaking.
BLANKET DESCRIPTION:
- White cream-colored fabric with little pastel dinosaurs and a white and pastel-colored lace trim.
- The dinosaurs are mostly pink, blue, and yellow, with possibly some additional colors.
- The dinosaurs have a cute, slightly unusual cartoon appearance, almost like little creatures.
- The fabric is soft and smooth, similar to a softer bedsheet rather than a fuzzy blanket, its double sided and has yarn knots in it
- The original fabric may have been purchased at Walmart around 1998–2002.
LAST POSSIBLE LOCATION:
Savers - 10551 S Redwood Rd #1, South Jordan, UT 84095
APPROXIMATE DONATION DATE:
Possibly sometime in August 2026. Multiple donation trips were made over the course of about a month, so I unfortunately don't have an exact date.
I've attached the only photograph I could find of the blanket, along with a simple drawing of what I remember some of the pattern looking like. The drawing is based on memory and may not be completely accurate.
I know the chances of finding it are slim, but this blanket means more to me than I can put into words. It is completely irreplaceable to me.
I'm offering a $1,000 reward for the safe return of my original blanket because it is truly priceless to me.
If anyone has seen it, purchased it, or knows where it might have ended up, please reach out to me. If you purchased it, I would be more than happy to buy it back from you. No questions asked.
Even just sharing this post would mean the world to me.
Please help me bring my childhood blanket home.
Update:
Missing Blanket Update
I know a lot of you have been wondering if there have been any updates on my blanket.
Unfortunately, there’s still no luck. I drove all the way down to the Orem Savers from Salt Lake City hoping I might find it, but came home empty-handed.
I’ve also called the Orem, Draper, South Jordan, and Midvale Savers locations. Orem and Draper were kind enough to take down my information, but the other two stores told me it’s likely been too long and that my blanket has probably already been processed, either sold or recycled. “It’s long gone”.
I’m desperately hoping it wasn’t recycled. I’m holding on to the possibility that someone bought it and that it’s still out there somewhere.
I’m also still searching for a better picture of it. If I manage to find one, I’ll absolutely share it here.
I want to thank everyone so much for the kind words, encouragement, and hope you’ve given me, even if it was just for a little while. It really has meant a lot to me.
I’m still really kicking myself over all of this. I genuinely thought my blankie was safe, and I can’t believe I didn’t realize it was missing sooner. It’s heartbreaking knowing something I’ve loved and held onto for almost my entire life might be gone forever. :(
The $1,000 reward still stands if anyone manages to find it. I’m not quite ready to give up hope yet.
Thank you again to everyone who has tried to help me.
