A One-Woman Drive to Give Real Luggage to Transitioning Foster Kids



A One-Woman Drive to Give Real Luggage to Transitioning Foster Kids


Luggage is hardly the first thing that comes to mind when considering the basic needs of a foster child.

Note: Once again we get some dip-stick newspaper reporter so desperate for something to write about that he takes the focus off of the real problem, which is the fact that foster kids are bounced from home to home to home, and convincing the public that the problem is made all better simply by getting the kid a suitcase of their very own so that they don't have to pack all of their stuff into trash bags while being uprooted again and again.  I will not put down this woman for wanting to do something nice for foster kids, but these band-aid solutions will simply teach the kids that there is no hope for permanency for them.

However, since you can't beat them, I say join them.  So here and now, I will give you all the opportunity to "help" Legally Kidnapped and a foster child by purchasing an inexpensive luggage item through Legally Kidnapped, in which case you can either 
a. Donate to the child protective industry so that a foster kid can be bounced from home to home with a little bit of dignity and avoid the need to pack all of their personal belongings into trash bags.
or
b. pack your bags and run like hell when you're pretty sure that CPS is on their way to snatch your own kids.
All you gotta do is click on the image below and go from there.  Your kindness will be rewarded through good karma and the great feeling in knowing that you did something nice for a child in need.
