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.

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.
