Richards wanted to do something to help, but on a big scale.

They aren’t just getting coats to warm their bodies though, they are getting something extra special to warm their soul.
“In each pocket of the coat, there is an inspiring message, so that they can be inspired to keep living their life and keep pushing forward. For example, here’s one I wrote: Dear Friend, where you start in life is not where you finish. You can do great things. Love, Camille.”
