🚨 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.
UHP on I15 UT county
What was up with all the UHP in Utah county today? , I seen at least 15 on motorcycles on my way from Draper to Provo, they serious about cracking down on people speeding in Utah county .
I need some quick help here so this is also a question.
I have actually never posted on Reddit, but I have a serious question that is going to probably be long but I will try and not to take up too much time. My husband and I and our dog have been living in a 2 star hotel it’s for extended stays. It is a year old. We have had the unfortunate issue of trying to find a home that accepts dogs that are larger, and isn’t trying to rip you off with application fees. that isn’t BYU approved. So we’re kind of in between places and it’s been really hard. More or less we’ve been homeless for three months but that’s beside the point.
When we got really bad rain a few weeks ago, the toilet in our room keeps getting backed up. Like to the brim when you flush it, you can hear that something is wrong. It’s not working properly. We told the front desk immediately so they sent their maintenance guy down. He snakes it and within two flushes of nothing but water it does it again. This has been going on for two weeks now here’s where it gets bad after 11 pm. The staff disappears and goes home for the evening. No one is in the office. This is different to me. I’ve never heard of anything like that these rooms have little kitchenette and they’re basically little one room homes.
The maintenance guy on the third day told us that they would probably need to get a plumber okay? Not a problem the first week my husband and I both got the flu and you know where you end up staying when you have the flu. For two weeks, the maintenance guy has been coming back every single day multiple times day then has a theory that it’s the disposable wipes that are septic tank safe. That are the problem they’re not something wrong with the mechanism and you can hear it when you flush it we even stopped using them temporarily. That will never happen again.
So in everyone’s opinion, am I being petty by telling them that I’m going to call the health department if I have to spend one more night with the toilet backing up and smelling like literal human faeces until the next day when they can get someone in there? And no, there is not a plunger in the rooms sure maybe that’s my job to buy it that’s fine. I don’t have a problem with that however there is one for the entire building the entire hotel. I want to be compensated for the two weeks that we have had to live in a room with the flu that smells like shit all day long all night long and there’s no one to fix it
I have left two messages with the general manager and the front desk. He will not get back to me. If this was something that I or my husband or my fucking dog caused, no problem. But it’s not and you can hear it the health department would have find them on the third day. That is very unsanitary and Toxic. I have used my own towels to clean up this mess and throw them away because they’re not ever going to get used for anything again. I don’t know if you need more context to this or have any questions but please feel free to ask. It’s been 2 1/2 weeks now and I went down and told them yesterday I was calling the health department Monday morning that’s when they said they would call a plumber Monday morning. Why are they not using a 24 hour plumbing service is it because their home watching conference with their family and their nice houses because it is UT county and that’s how they treat people here but I’m really mad because of the health concern and because I have been paying $1000 a week maybe a little less to live in this as my home. I am not a so happy person I don’t want to threaten them with legal unless I absolutely absolutely have to. I want to be compensated for the two weeks that we have been living in this and want to know if I’m out of line for that, we’ve done our part they haven’t done theirs but the maintenance guy is the one apologising for the general manager’s job.

birds
not sure if this’ll be much help but does anyone know if there are bird sanctuaries/aviaries or somewhere else to take birds ..? my grandma has 3 birds, a cockatiel, ring necked parakeet, and an eastern rosella. they’ve lived their entire lives in cages like a couple feet high and half that length wide each. they don’t ever get to come out i’ll give her advice for better care for the birds and she won’t listen. she can hardly take care of them anymore though so it’d probably be for the best if they were rehomed thanks
Open mic nights/karaoke?
I need a list of everything that goes on regularly in the salt lake and Utah county areas!
