My friend, Ryan Foell, is working on his Eagle Scout Project. He is making “My Stuff” bags for the Sacramento Children’s Home Crises Nursery to give to children when they leave the nursery. These little kids have been uprooted from their distressed homes and nothing to call their own. Each drawstring bag will hold a child’s blanket, a new book, a stuffed animal, and personal hygiene items. These bags are for children 0-5years old.
If this touches your heart as it does mine and you can help, here is a list of things he is collecting
*fabric for bags (woven cotton blends, 1 yard can make 2 bags)
* cording (about 40” per bag) for drawstring
* fleece fabric for making blankets
* ribbon to embellish stuffed animals
* books (toddlers, pre-scholl)
* new stuffed animals
* baby shampoo
* baby soap
* hair brush
* hair “pretties”
* comb
**does not need toothbrushes and toothpaste – already donated)
· (Yes, money donations will be welcome and appreciated, too)
If you can help, contact me about getting your donations to Ryan.
(His goal is to make & put bags together Feb 14 & 15.)
