Hope In A Suitcase

We love seeing our teen leaders teaming up! Thank you to Jonah, Celeste, and Soren (and parents too) for organizing and hosting a recent beach volleyball tournament, gathering friends together to raise funds for LA children and teens in foster care.

It always means a lot to us when children who attend our free “shopping days” share their excitement afterward.
After this weekend’s event, one of our attendees (pictured here)who participated along with his two older siblings, couldn’t wait to get home, lay everything out, and take a photo with the items they each chose for themselves.
Moments like this remind us how important it is for youth to have the chance to pick out items that reflect who they are and how they want to express themselves in the world.
Thank you to everyone who helps make these days possible and to our amazing partners 💙
