My Stuff Bags Foundation and Toy Industry,

Thank you so much for the wonderful My Stuff Bags! As the Social Worker for the Davenport Police Department, I see many families and Children who suffer and go without. In many years of my experience I have never seen a home so filthy. I was called to a home where the conditions were unsafe for two small children to live in. The place was filthy, with clothes, garbage, mold and old food all over the house. The two boys were un-bathed for several days and unfed. I brought them back to the station. It was a great feeling to give them two of your bags full of hygiene products, toys and a blanket, which comforted and clothed these two boys. I cannot thank you enough, nor express how good it felt to bring clean clothes and some stuffed animals to children who were distraught and not cared for. They were ecstatic and couldn’t wait to wear their new clothes with pride. Both held on to their stuffed animals and thanked me. I am thanking you for giving these two children the clothes, hygiene products and toys every child should have! A special thank you to the Toy Industry for partnering with the My Stuff Bags Foundation and making it possible for more children to receive these wonderful and much needed bags!

Sincerely,
