I Started this page in 2007, Although I had been helping foster kids age out of the system since about 2004, In 2007 I also started helping the schools in my Area. With furniture, household items,clothes, baby furniture, and more. I was also helping DCF with foster kids that were aging out of the system, with furniture , house hold items clothes for job interview and other clothing baby items, toys and more.. At Thanksgiving I set up food drives for the families through The school, and DCF. Have been able to help each year between 50 to 60 families with Thanksgiving food. Christmas I also set up donation boxes at business, And I posted on Facebook groups every year that we needed sponsors for families that needed help for the holidays. I was able to have helped with toys, food, new clothes, gift cards, and more for 100 to 178 kids every year with the help of the Community. Back to schools I also set up donations boxes for school supples and back packs, I filled the back packs with items need for the grade level and took them to the schools. I also was able with the community's help. To help 75 to 139 kids each year./ I am sorry to say that in 2007 was my last year . This all took place in Orlando Fl. I have moved to Murphy N.C. And would love to start this up here. Thanks again to everyone that has helped with donations for these school and foster care . This is something I loved doing. It took a lot to organize, But I did it, And did it for years alone. Except for the last 2 years I had a helper. She was awesome.
