This is my mom. She runs a nonprofit called Hope Pkgs out of Holland, MI where she makes first night bags for kids in foster care. Over the past 4 years she has been able to fully provide several counties with all the bags they need. So far she has made over 2,400 bags!

Her ministry provides all new items such as pjs, socks, underwear, toiletries, and usually a book or age appropriate toy of some sort for kids 0-18. I’m so proud of her!

Had a friend who was fostered at childhood. He still keeps his first night bag at his dorm in uni. Your mum's doing admirable work. God bless.

Wow! I have to say I’m am sitting here wiping tears because I did not expect this post or any of the kind comments. We recently received a donation that explained that my own child (adult) posted something on Reddit. I had to look it up to see what was happening. My kids are amazing and I am so proud of each one. Please know I could never do this on my own. We have an amazing human race out there that has stepped up and donated to make this happen. Thank you all very much!!!🎒❤️ I will try to answer questions. Again, thank you all for caring about the kiddos!
