Cases for CASA Kids Program
When a child arrives in foster care, due to no fault of their own, they often have to bring whatever belongings they can fit into a plastic trash bag. Many of the children do not have a suitcase or a duffel bag, especially in emergency situations. Foster families welcoming the children generally have very little time to prepare for their arrival. A trash bag should never be a child's suitcase when going to and from foster care.
CASES FOR CASA KIDS provides a new unused age and gender specific suitcase, with new unused vital essentials, for children in Hall, Hamilton, Howard and Merrick counties as they join a foster family. Within each case, we will supply age appropriate outfits; nightwear, school outfits, hygiene products, undergarments, stuffed animal to provide comfort to lonely kids, a blanket for warmth on cold nights, and toiletries. Each case will meet the basic needs of each child for the first 5 days in foster care.
* Important Reminder: all items in these cases are new and unused*
