Their entire life packed into a trash bag. Let that sink in...💔 Today, another child entered foster care carrying everything they own in a plastic bag meant for garbage. But these children are not disposable. They are precious, worthy of dignity, and deserving of so much more. We believe a simple act of kindness can speak volumes. 🙌 Our Bags of Hope program replaces trash bags with proper luggage and essential items that say: "You matter. You are valued. You are not forgotten." ✨ Tomorrow we'll share exactly what we need to fill these bags with love. Will you join us in showing these brave children they are treasured? ❤ #BagsOfHope #FosterCare #EndTheTrashbagCrisis #KidsAreNotTrash #MakingADifference #NCNonProfit (fb)

Aaliyah’s journey from foster care to graduation shows us that our stories don’t define our futures. ❤️ From enduring abuse and instability to finding her forever home, she’s transformed challenges into stepping stones. Today, we celebrate 🎉 as she graduates from Gaston College with THREE associates degrees! This EMT with GEMS has already saved lives, and she’s just getting started. Aaliyah’s past is just the prologue—the real story is everything she’s writing now. Congrats, graduate! 🎓✨ #DefyingTheOdds #GastonGrad25 #JustTheBeginning #FosterCareGraduate (fb)
