Story
I'm here to stop the continuous black bag phase for fostered kids all around the UK! Thousands of kids and young people are dragged around day after day, week after week, month after month and, for hundreds, year after year. Most of these kids are burdened with the negligence of the embarrassing black bin bag.They have no proper travel bags to pack their belongings in.
I'd like to stop this. I don't care how long it takes, or who we have to ask, I aim to raise the money to buy travel bags, and a cuddly toy and blanket to go with it.
All a child wants is love. I know this as that's all I wanted in my childhood. Sadly, at a young age I was placed in foster care and I remember being passed about like a bad cold. All I wanted was to hide under a blanket with my favourite teddy, and just doing that would make me feel safe. My intention in giving the bags are so these children feel valued, and have something suitable to pack their stuff in.
All bags will be sent to different councils in the UK, to distribute to foster homes and children homes. For older kids personal hygiene products will be given instead of the cuddly toy and blanket.

Fantastic idea. No child should have to move home with their belongings in bin bags.

Your mum shared what you were doing in a facebook group. She's obviously very proud. What a fantastically kind thing to do.
