“I’ll always remember my foster son was so amazed that someone was giving him something; his whole face lit up when he got the backpack, and he just kept thanking us and thanking us. He had been removed from his home for severe neglect; at age five, he had been found wandering on the side of a highway alone, looking for food. I don’t think he had ever been given anything new in his life that he could remember. He cherished that backpack and used it every day in school.”
- Cheryl, Foster Parent
“It seems simple. But for our kids, it’s not. It’s more than a backpack. It’s a statement of support. It’s someone saying ‘I matter.’ And that is invaluable.”
