Missing a glove?
by Daniela Simkova


Jennifer Gooch, originally from Texas, founded a virtual "lost and finds" for gloves. This nice idea came onto her mind as she was in Pittsburgh during the snowy winter. Jennifer could not believe why there are so many gloves on the street and nobody cares for them. Nobody misses the other half of the glove pair. Jennifer Gooch then started onecoldhand.com web page in desire to get all the gloves reunited. But when she found a glove laying on the campus of her University, she was not sure if to pick it up. Somebody could come and look for his lost glove mate. So Jennifer developed a sticker method of letting people know where they can find their missing gloves. As Jennifer picked up the lost glove, she put the sticker on its place, with a note: "Missing a glove? onecoldhand.com." "It's kind of whimsical and bittersweet, It makes you feel there's this opportunity for benevolence," Jennifer expressed her attitude for the onecoldhand.com. She would like to spread One Cold Hand project to other cities. She is working in collaboration with two women who try to set up and run the onecoldhand-nyc.com in New York. Jennifer Gooch did not reunited any of the gloves she found, but she is still hoping. She said: "If I have one person find their glove, then the entire thing is totally worth it."
