In 2022, we began receiving requests from first responders. They needed bags of practical items to take with them when they responded to children in crisis situations. When they encounter these children, it is almost always a traumatic situation, but the items in our bags bring comfort, as well as a feeling of safety and hope. We provide the children four books, including an activity resilience book, Mabel and Maddie coloring books, puzzles, a stuffed Mabel pup, sensory items such as bubbles and gel balls, activity pads with games, cards, t-shirt, snacks, a small blanket, and socks. These bags benefit both the child, and the first responder. In 2023, our goal is to supply first responders with 1,000 bags for children. Your sponsorship of this need will make a difference for so many kids in our community!
