About My Stuff Bags
The My Stuff Bags Foundation provides new belongings, comfort and hope to thousands of children each year that must be rescued from abuse, neglect and abandonment across the United States. Established in 1998, the My Stuff Bags program began as a response to a cry for help from the very people who rescue and care for abused, neglected and abandoned children. As people nationwide sent donations of new children’s items and funding, what began around the kitchen table grew to a 7,000 square foot warehouse operation that to date, has provided over 400,000 My Stuff Bags to children in over 1,400 agencies in 49 states. We supply duffels free of charge and our ultimate goal is to provide a My Stuff Bag filled with new belongings to each of the nearly 300,000 children each year who must enter crisis shelters and foster care with nothing of their own.

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

Description: The first book in  The Reading Game  learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender.  It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long.  It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program.

Book Review: "God I feel Scared"

The bright, emotive art by Nomar Perez will draw kids in, and a note in the back provides tips and techniques parents and caregivers can use to help young children process their feelings in a beneficial way. God, I Feel Scared  teaches kids ages 4 to 8 how to: Identify the feeling of fear and recognize thin...
