Kendyl, 12, and Isabella, 13, did just that. The girls had a birthday party and requested that their guests bring cash donations for Clothes For Kids instead of toys for themselves. The girls received and donated $675! With their donation, Clothes For Kids was able to provide underwear and socks to 47 children.
April 2008: Dear People at Clothes for Kids,
I just wanted to extend my thanks to the Clothes for Kids program for offering such a wonderful opportunity for my foster children to go shopping twice a year. I am a single mom who couldn't afford to provide this for my 17 year-old foster daughter without such assistance. We always find great stuff at your shop. It is a relief to know that you are there for me in emergencies, too, as I recently found out when I received a newly-placed foster child who arrived with only the clothes on her back. Thank you for making it possible for the kids that come to my home from a variety of circumstances feel like they deserve a good shopping trip!
Sincerely,
-Foster Mom
