What does Kindness Shared do?
|
Project Teddy Bear
Brand-new teddy bears, plush cows and cuddle piggies are given to children experiencing a mental health crisis. These soft companions are delivered directly through the South County Mental Health Clinic Mobile Crisis Van often at a moment when a child needs comfort the most. To protect every child’s health and safety, all donated bears must be new and meet strict fire and allergy safety standards. One bear. One child. One powerful moment of comfort and kindness. Will you help us reach the arms that need it most? |

June 2022
♥️Project Bags of Kindness♥️
Thank you to our sponsor who made the June duffle bag delivery possible!
Love that we can offer kids some dignity when they are moved into or out of the foster care system.
Did you know? Often, the kids have to rush and throw all their belongings into a trash bag…
Can you actually imagine that? 😢
These are just duffel bags. To many of us who have a closet filled with random bags, we might not see it as much.
To them, it’s everything. Actually EVERYTHING they own goes in the duffel bag with them where they go. 💚
We’ve found a way to put a hug in each bag.
Our plush piggies 🐷 are adorable and a big hit with the kids.

Birthday Club
We are not allowed to share pictures of children living in group foster care so let me tell you a little about the kids who received these gifts.
One gift went to a little boy who was born in Ethiopia. He eventually ended up in the foster care system after his Dad died of tuberculosis. He has a kind heart and a great sense of humor.
The other gift went to a teenage girl. Her mom gave birth to her at only 13 years old. After doing her best to take care of her for the first few years she then abandoned her.
Left without a mom and an unknown Dad, she entered the foster care system.

Let me share with you a little about the kids who have December Birthdays.
The gift in the middle is going to a boy who is very slow to warm up and trust people. He has been in the foster care system most of his life. His birthday sponsor brought joy to his birthday by gifting him Nike Slides and a LEGO set. Jasmine has been exposed to trauma most of her life. While getting the therapeutic care she needs at HomeSafe she enjoys listening to music and socializing with her friends. Dana, who is on the Autism spectrum, needed to be removed from her parental home. Now she is getting the therapeutic care she needs at HomeSafe. She is a very sweet girl, who is appreciative of not just the gifts but the love behind it. |

Pack a Sack provides food on the weekends during the school year to children who count on free breakfast and lunch on the school days.
On the weekends they count on Kindness Shared. Each bag of food goes out with a book, a gift, a hygiene kit and of course, a happy note. This Christmas not only did we supply food for Christmas dinner and Winter break but we also provided Christmas gifts.
