Notes
11/26/08 LTel:
Spoke with Ellen at MyStuff Bags. They were able to donate MyStuff Bags for the '07 SoCal Wildfires in San Diego, at this time, they are committed to their everyday ongoing projects and are unable to support recovery for the Sayre Fire. The demand for bags significantly grows day by day and they have a hard time meeting all the requests that come in to serve children that have been removed from abusive family situations that go into foster care. An amazing group of people!

OLD NOTES FROM THE SITE (Posted to document their support of past disasters):
Firestorm 2007 My Stuff Bags Project
In the tragic Southern California wild fires of 2007, the most
vulnerable victims are the children whose homes and all their
belongings have been lost. Children and their families must
often evacuate so suddenly that their parents have only enough
time to collect important papers and perhaps a photo album or
two. There just isn’t time to collect their children's “stuff,”
a toy, a stuffed animal, a blanket, or even a toothbrush.
The My Stuff Bags Foundation, which provides individual duffel bags
filled with new belongings to abused, neglected, abandoned and
displaced children (newborn to age 18) is offering its duffels
filled with new, comforting items to children and teens throughout
Southern California who have lost all their “stuff” due to the recent
fires. Each My Stuff Bag is filled with age and gender appropriate
items.
The My Stuff Bags will be distributed through qualifying community organizations such as schools, houses of worship, employers,
insurance companies, hospitals and others in the fire-devastated
areas. Organizations are encouraged to print and complete a short
application (click here) and fax it to the Foundation at 818-865-3865
or contact the My Stuff Bags Foundation immediately at: 866-3MY-STUFF.
My Stuff Bags Foundation is gladly accepting cash donations to fund
the project! Make a donation online here, or call us at 866 3MY-STUFF

==========================================================
FROM THE 211 DATABASE:
The My Stuff Bags Foundation is urgently collecting funds and
new "stuff" to deliver My Stuff Bags to children whose homes
and all their belongings have been lost in the tragic Southern
California wild fires.
===========================================================
The foundations ultimate goal is to provide a My Stuff Bag to
each of the over 300,000 children entering crisis and foster
care each year.
Non-profit organizations caring for abused and neglected children
can find out How to Apply for Bags or fax a request for an
application.

As you know, children entering crisis care centers and foster care
agencies often arrive with just a few quickly collected belongings,
or nothing at all. The My Stuff Bags Foundation launched the My
Stuff Bag program to provide ?emergency care bags? for these
unfortunate children.
Approved crisis care centers and foster care agencies will receive
My Stuff Bags for children ranging in age from infant through 16
years. Each individual duffel bag will contain age and gender
appropriate essentials and comforts such as:
Toiletries (e.g. toothbrush and toothpaste, comb, brush, soap)
Blanket or quilt
Small stuffed animal
Crayons and coloring book
Water bottle
School supplies
Clothing: tee shirts, sweatshirts, socks, etc.
Other items as appropriate
PLEASE NOTE: My Stuff Bags are stuffed by volunteers with thousands
of items donated by supporters of the program. As a result, bags
often vary in contents. It is essential to the success of the My
Stuff Bag program that caregivers examine the contents for
appropriateness for individual children.
