There are many types of people in the world, some are lucky others not so, some are rich, others not so, some have sufficient to ensure their survival others not so. Life is a joy to some but a vicious cycle to many. Many young children get adversely affected because of their parents decisions; many programs are organized all through the year to ensure that those children are well taken care of.

One such program is Bags and Bears for Foster care, the children under this program, suffer from many pains for instance they suffer from neglect of their parents, physical abuse, alcohol abuse etc because of the same these children have to be moved from one place to another, as a result of this most of the children fail to carry their personal belongings with them, personal belongings like toys etc matter a lot to young children, they can’t imagine living without their personal belongings, this is how important these personal belongings are to them.

All their personal belongings are put in a trash bag and there are no prizes for guessing what happens next. This is ludicrous and unacceptable but very little is being done against it, so it a very humble request to all the people to donate Back Packs, Teddy Bears & Luggage or any other thing which you feel can help the children. The smile on their faces is certainly priceless and if you are the reason for that smile then you will also feel good about it. If you are in a situation where you can’t help at the moment, I request you to pass this message across to as many people you know. Let’s work together for that priceless smile.

Please forward all donations to:
