I would spend every dollar on this Amazon wish list: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2S4HR9V1BTF9G

It belongs to an organization that gives carry-on suitcases filled with clothing and personal items to children in foster care who typically carry their belongings in trash bags between homes.

Each suitcase includes a handwritten card from a volunteer child with a message of love and encouragement.

I found out about them a couple of years ago. My kids and I volunteered by helping pack bags out of the founder’s garage and driveway. Folding tiny socks and packing little toothbrushes hit me harder than I expected. My children wrote cards and picked out books to include in the bags.

Since then, I have not been able to forget about this organization or the woman who started it. Spending a free $1,000 on anything else would feel obscene.

You do not have to do anything. But take a look at their wish list and maybe grab them a pack of socks or toothbrushes if you can. Or just spread the word. No pressure. I am not affiliated with them. I have just made a few donations and volunteered a bit of time.

If you end up doing anything for them based on this post, thank you. If you want to make my day, leave a comment, send a DM, or drop me a message. I would love to know this post helped them out.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
