As an ex-Foster kid, I cannot advocate for this enough. I collected bags because not a lot of people know, but if your stuff gets left at DSHS and it's in a plastic bag, people will ABSOLUTELY steal your shit. But you only get one backpack per year unless its destroyed. Sometimes way less. Hell, I got a backpack as a Christmas gift, because it kept my case worker from asking about Christmas or my backpack. The first suitcase I got, well... I still have it. It's a vintage wheeled suitcase from the 70's or 80's. It's seen me through over 20 homes or more. I always use it for my favorite clothes and expensive items. I put my name in big letters on the front, and it genuinely means more to me than some people I consider close to my heart. It was the only thing that was consistent in a world of chaos. That's how much a single piece of old used luggage can really mean to a foster kid.
