Changing Lives, One Bag at a Time
The My Stuff Bags Foundation measures success not just in the number of Bags distributed, but in the profound impact these Bags have on the lives of children in crisis. Our program’s effectiveness is demonstrated through heartfelt testimonials, continuous Partner Agency feedback, and impactful statistics that underline the breadth and depth of our reach.
Quantifiable Outcomes
Our Partner Agencies Tell us the Impact
“Living in a home filled with violence is traumatizing for everyone and children are especially confused and afraid, The normalcy of the items in their My Stuff Bag have been a grounding force for the children…. Many of our children have grown up in a home where kindness is a rarity, receiving these My Stuff Bags is a rare moment of compassion and caring.”
Chanel Smith, Director of Domestic Violence and Vulnerable Populations, Los Angeles Mayor’s Office of Public Safety, Los Angeles, CA
“The children witnessed their father killing their mother and were immediately taken into protective custody by Child Protective Services.The children were not able to return to their home to gather any personal belongings before moving in with their adult sister. The Bags ended up being critical to these children because they were not able to go home to get any of their personal items because the house was an active crime scene.”
Ginger Robins, Chief Executive Officer, SafePath Children’s Advocacy Center, Inc., Marietta, GA
“What a powerful effect these My Stuff Bags have on children when they are most vulnerable. They leave our agency heading to foster care with dignity and a sense of worth because someone cared enough to supply these things for them.”
Diane L. Pisczek, Executive Director, Lake Sumter Children’s Advocacy Center, Wildwood, FL
“Having My Stuff Bags is going to allow our organization to be able to provide children of all ages a bit of security knowing they will have a place to keep their personal items. Before receiving My Stuff Bags, staff had to put clothing, toys, and personal hygiene items in a plastic bag for the child. Now the children will have an actual travel bag and items that belong to them while they are away from their family members and everything they are familiar with.”
Jeanette Orrantia and Courtney Potter, RGH Foundation, Inc, Portales, NM
