"onecoldhand.com is a project that connects the Pittsburgh community through one unfortunate event - the loss of a glove. The website creates a method for dealing with the conundrum of finding these lost articles. Do you leave it and hope the owner comes back to find it? Do you pick it up? Throw it away? With onecoldhand.com, the abandoned object now becomes a symbol of benevolence and hope."
-----Jennifer Gooch

You've put quite some effort into this, haven't you. I've been rescueing single gloves for a couple of years now. I used to hang them on my room's wall, but after temporarily moving out I didn't bother to hang them back (let's face it, it is not that asthetic).
So with Christmas coming I actually had the idea of using at least 24 of them for a advent calendar. Since I found them all over the place there is unfortunately not much of a chance to reunite any and I was already scolded at for not leaving them on the street where the owner might find them again, but being run over by cars all day is easily beaten by being dried and spending the rest with fellow lost and found gloves.
you must be a very warm person. i heard about your effort from american cliche and your idea interested me very much.
I love this site! those pic of gloves are also great. i can feel some kind of sadness from them.
nice work!
Hey!

wow, i'm also from Brazil! this is sooo cool. well jen, as you already know, someone in Brazil found your website and now it's news. amazing idea! I think the warmth you're making people feel while visiting the site is even more important than reuniting the gloves. congratulations ;))
Proof that there are so many people out there with entirely too much time on their hands...
Hi. I think it's a great idea, because even though some people think it's stupid, it shows how much you want to help. Totally worthwhile. =)

Hi,
I'm from Portugal and i heard about your site in a comum portuguese site.
I think you had a great idea. Keep the good work.
Best whishes.

Please ignore the ugly comment by jumbo..I would love to give him a piece of my mind. With all the hate, evil, and violence on the net, this is so refreshing!!! Please continue!
I'm from Scotland, read about this in the Sunday Newspaper mag so thought I'd take a look. Don't know if I'd actually pick up a glove from the street, anything could be in/on it!
hej,
I'm from Belgium, Europe and I also found this site in a popular woman's magazine...I think it's a very nice, heartwarming idea!
and I also think the people who've send hate-comments are also people that have "too much time on their hands" but prefer "waisting" it on saying intolerante and idiotic things...
Keep up the good work! My day started bad but now I have a little smile on my face...:-)
