Imagine if you had just been taken
from your home, your family and your pets. You are put in the back of
a car and are headed for the unknown. You have nothing. No warm hugs
to console you, no teddy bear to hang on to and nothing that gives you
any comfort.
You might be headed for a police station, a social worker’s office
or maybe even a Foster home. At any of these places you would be
scared and feel all alone. Maybe you’d even be at one of these places
for hours before another stranger took you somewhere else. And you are
only four years old.
This is the reason Bags4kids was started; to give some kind of
comfort to a child who can’t help feeling alone and scared in a very
terrifying situation. We want to give them comfort and something to
keep themselves busy, such as crayons, coloring books, writing
materials and a reading book. Then when they get to the door step of their new home, they
will have something that belongs to them. So we add stuffed animals,
tooth brushes, hygiene items, toys and a bag to keep their treasures
in. It is theirs to keep forever.
All bags are a blessing. When children are removed from their
unsafe homes, they travel with trash bags in hand if they have
anything. Sadly, the majority have nothing at all.
When children must face this
crisis alone, Bags4kids is there to comfort and aid in this
frightening transition. We assemble donations into comfort bags
and deliver them to police stations and Social Service offices
throughout the area where they are given to the children.
We invite you to be a part of this very important organization by
visiting our donations page. Your
small act of kindness will make a monumental impact on a helpless
child at a time when their world has been shaken to the core. We
thank you very much for your gracious thoughts, prayers and
donations.And most of all, the children thank you for being there for them
when they need it most.
