Fostering Hope with Comfortcases.org & Healthier Living with Patricia Greenberg

Over 700 children enter the foster care system every single day. 

Think about that.                                                                                                                Most are given a trash bag to carry their belongings...                                                    Think about that.             

Think about how it must feel to ask a stranger for their toothpaste. The overwhelming sad and difficult emotions for each of these babies, toddlers, and teens must feel every day. The youth are in these situations because of adults that have FAILED THEM. 

It DOES NOT have to be this way! Last year, we welcomed Comfortcases.org to New Orleans to pack cases filled with all of the personal items these kids need as they navigate this journey. 300 cases were packed, filled and sent HERE LOCALLY in South Louisiana! 

This year, I want to make it a LAW requiring it to be ILLEGAL to put these children's belongings into a trash bag. These babies deserve DIGNITY. So let's make that happen! 

In the coming days, I will create a CALL TO ACTION and petition for EVERYONE to sign and then, I will send it to my friends at New Orleans City Hall, Baton Rouge and beyond to get this on the table and FUNDED! 

The founder of Comfortcases.org, Rob Scheer sat down with me to talk about his and their mission to finally say for good- NO MORE TRASH BAGS! 

Join us as we make it our own mission to give dignity to these youth. 

Are you a Louisianian? Please join me in signing this petition to ban trash bags given to foster children.
