There are currently over 13,000 children in foster care in Texas. Across the U.S., every 45 seconds a child enters foster care and is removed from everything they’ve ever known. Often times, children must place their possessions in an old backpack, a laundry basket, grocery bag or whatever may be handy in the moment.
We believe that all children deserve better and should be shown dignity through life-alerting transitions.
It is now a legal requirement for kids who are removed from their homes and placed in foster care to be provided with their very own piece of luggage. We are so grateful for this effort and invite you to join us in loving on the kids in our community this Valentine’s Day!
We aim to collect 2,000 brand-new suitcases to provide luggage for kids in care for an entire year!
