Making a Difference

making a difference Our children should be treasured To be loved ,cuddled and happy Not beaten , abused or raped, becoming someone else's pleasures. They should never be exposed to pain or harmful poison within the illicit drugs That so many junkies make at home This is not easy to truly explain How so many families get totally destroyed by the poisons injected into the veins. of the parents or others, they have around Instead of memories, they should have enjoyed. **** A group of women in my church opened our hearts and talents we gather personal things for kids and have done some research We have women that make quilts and drawstring bags to put them in. Along with a matching little pillow To help them feel comfort instead of guilt Then we add hygiene products also sorted by their ages and gender We help newborns to age seventeen We add toys, and school supplies for those that go Then we have others that organize and sort and buy the things we need for each child As each bag is created uniquely no two alike in color and style giving each one extra effort So every child taken into Foster Care Gets a bag of their very own to keep No matter where they go from that point Those quilts and items are theirs forever. http://imvobagoflove.wix.com/ne-tn This is the link to show what I do with my church It's just a little corner of our state that we reach. 7 counties in total. and countless children There are many groups like this around the US and some over seas as well. I created the site and took the pictures to show others that help us or are interested in doing so can do the same things as well There is also a group on facebook for it.
