A big thanks goes out to “My Stuff Bags Foundation” for their generous contribution to the Sixth Judicial District CASA/GAL Program volunteers who will be presenting these gifts to case children. These really cool bags have tons of fun and exciting things to help make a child feel loved and wanted. The My Stuff Bags Foundation provides comfort and a message of hope to abused and neglected children entering crisis and foster care through its unique program, My Stuff Bags.

Sadly, more than 300,000 children across America must be rescued each year from dangerous home environments. That’s over 34 children per hour! Traumatized by the events leading to their rescue, these children often arrive without any of their own belongings: no favorite stuffed animal, no special “blankie.” They are afraid and need something to hold onto!
