Kids Deserve Better Than A Trash Bag
With the increasing number of children entering foster care during the holiday season, we must double our efforts to ensure that every child receives the comfort they deserve. Your support today can help bring comfort and hope to these children during this challenging time, showing them they are valued and loved even when their circumstances feel overwhelming.
Gift Warmth and Comfort
Right now, there are 400,000 children in the foster care system. During the holiday season, this number grows as domestic violence cases rise, leaving even more children to spend the holidays without permanent families
For many of these children, this means being taken from their homes—sometimes without the chance to say goodbye—during a time that should be filled with warmth, joy, and togetherness.
This Giving Tuesday, you can bring that warmth, comfort, and holiday cheer, showing foster youth that they are valued and loved.
How Do Sweet Cases Help Foster Kids During The Holidays?
Sweet Cases are thoughtfully designed to offer dignity, comfort, and a sense of hope during a traumatic time in a child’s life. Each Sweet Case includes a cuddly teddy bear, a warm blanket, and essential hygiene items, all intended to provide a measure of normalcy and security.
Most children will spend at least two holiday seasons without a permanent home, leaving them feeling lonely and scared during a time that should be filled with joy. As the holiday season approaches, many children enter the foster care system, often feeling scared and alone. This year, we’re delivering holiday cheer in every Sweet Case with special holiday additions, including a gingerbread card and a festive stocking.
For just $30, you can help deliver these special Sweet Cases, reassuring children that they are loved and remembered this holiday season.
Each bag includes:
- Holiday stocking
- A cozy blanket
- A hygiene kit
- A teddy bear
- Engaging activities
