My family has been a foster family in El Dorado County for almost 6 years, and although it has been such a rewarding experience it has also given me a new perspective. The perspective of a foster child, who is often passed from house to house carrying their belongings in a small backpack or even trash bag. It’s incredibly important for these children to have something they can keep for themselves wherever they may find themselves. Having a bag to carry and an item or two in it further ensures how comfortable they will be in a home.
