Provide a First Night Backpack for a child's first night in foster care
When a child is removed from their family and placed into foster care, the child often has only the clothes they are wearing. Their first night in a new home and they arrive with nothing. They don’t even have something to sleep in. No pajamas. No toiletries. Their favorite stuffed animals left behind.

You can do something about it – you can help a child in this very situation right now!
Your gift of just $35 will help provide a first night backpack full of exactly what a child in this situation needs. You’ll provide a pair of pajamas, a toothbrush, a blanket...even a stuffed animal for young kids to hug and hold that night.
Each child is being removed from situations of painful abuse and neglect into foster care. And one thing is certain—they are going to be afraid. They are going to need someone to show them that they are loved.
So please, will you send a donation to help provide a first night backpack for a child who is being relocated? I especially want every child who is relocated before Christmas to have what they need their first night.
And thanks to a matching sponsor your gift will now be DOUBLED!
You can give...
1 backpack for $35 -- NOW = 2 backpacks
2 backpacks for $70 -- NOW = 4 backpacks
4 backpacks for $140 -- NOW = 8 backpacks
8 backpacks for $280 -- NOW = 16 backpacks
OR join our most committed group of HumanKind supporters and become a monthly donor with your gift today. Just $5 a month ensures every child coming into foster care has what they need on their first night.
Your gift is needed right now so we can make sure every child coming into foster care has something to call their own and offer comfort.
And remember, your gift will be DOUBLED because of a matching sponsor.
Your gift will provide First Night backpacks until all needs are met. In cases where donations exceed what is needed, HumanKind will use funds to help families in the most effective way possible.
