"So I thought of the idea of a travel sleeping bag that can be used both in warm or cold time, giving the homeless something comfortable to lay on at night," she said. "We still need people to know that we care as many of these homeless had homes at some point in their lives."
That "could have been any one of us."
Willoughby said she hopes others will follow her lead and helps those in need.
