My Bag My Story Is On A Mission To End The Trash Bag ~ Giveaway

 My Bag, My Story is a non-profit organization working to improve the lives of children in foster care by providing them with high-quality bags. 

One Bag Purchased = One Bag Donated.


Many thanks to My Bag, My Story for providing a sample of the product for this review. Opinions are 100% my own.

 Foster kids long for more than just a family. These kids want simple things and one simple thing that they most want is a bag to carry their items in. As foster kids move from one temporary home to another, their possessions are often carried in a trash bag. Yes, you read that correctly. These kids have to put their clothes and other items into a trash bag.

 Kids in the foster system deserve better. These kids are being shuffled around from home to home carrying a trash bag. Learn how you can help these kids get a bag.

My Bag My Story Is On A Mission To Help Foster Kids

Cara Finger, Founder of My Bag My Story was a foster parent and was disappointed by the scarce secondhand luggage donations and limited resources available to foster families. Watching children carry their belongings in a trash bag or grocery sack or nothing made her sad. She knew that she had to do something. So she called on talented designers and manufacturers to create a product anyone would be proud to carry. Together with the overwhelming support and creativity from the foster care community, Cara founded My Bag My Story.

This holiday season you can help this organization by purchasing a colorful backpack, duffle bag, or a pouch for all of your friends and family. For each bag that you purchase, My Bag My Story will donate a bag to a foster child in need.

My Bag My Story has given over 2,600 bags to children in foster care

My Bag My Story has partnered with over 30 Tennessee-based organizations that work directly with children in the foster care system to get them high-quality duffel bags and backpacks. These organizations then hand out the bags to kids, so they can have something to carry their items in. It may be a simple bag to you, but to these foster kids, it is so much more.

These bags are more than just practical; they are symbols of support and recognition, affirming the inherent value and worth of every child in the foster care system. These bags help foster children feel seen and valued. 

#MyBagMyStoryMIN #endthetrashbag

There are over 400,000 children in the U.S. foster care system right now.

Not everyone can be a foster parent but almost everyone can buy a bag. Bags are a useful item that everyone can use. Bags are a practical item that can be used on a daily basis. From carrying items to school and to the gym all the way to traveling, people need bags. 

Order a bag today and one will be given to a child navigating the foster care system! One Bag Purchased = One Bag Donated

The bags from My Bag My Story are available in many colors and make great gifts. So purchase a bag for a friend or family member. You can even buy a bag and donate it to your local foster care system.

I have a big fave with pink. The many there are was hard to decide cause even without it being pink the bags are just awesome! I love the most is the Hot Pink Duffel Bag as it sort of brings this bright and keep things joyful vibe when ever one looks at it. Especially, when I see it. The color reminds me of staying positive and bright, no matter what I may be needing it for. It really adds an additional amount of joy that I would be pleased to own.
