"My Stuff Bags" Foundation

The following was taken from the "My stuff bags" website.

 Our Mission: The My Stuff Bags Foundation provides new belongings, comfort and hope to thousands of children each year who must be rescued from abuse, neglect and abandonment across the United States. By rallying widespread individual and corporate involvement through our unique “My Stuff Bags” program, we address the immediate physical and emotional needs of rescued children, and help support the agencies caring for them.

Our Vision: The My Stuff Bags Foundation’s ultimate goal is to provide a My Stuff Bag filled with new belongings to each of the nearly 300,000 children each year who must enter crisis shelters and foster care with nothing of their own.  

This cause is important not only to me, but to my blog as well. My blog revolves around brand name bags- owning them, purchasing them, and such. But the reality is that many people, including children, don't have access to these "splurge" items. We buy these items because we really like them. Some even have a bunch of bags and wallets. 

1 in 45 children experience homelessness in America each year. That's over 1.6 million children. These children don't have the access to even buy the things they need, forget about what they want (such as purses for example!!) 
The vision that the My Stuff Bags Foundation holds is very important to me and it is amazing what they do. They provide "comfort" and "hope" to kids who have lost everything, or had nothing to begin with. 
This is an amazing Cause and Foundation- visit their website and check them out!!

13 Year Old Fashion Designer Displays Line in NYC

     Isabella Taylor is not your typical fashion designer, at age 13. She started her own business when she was only 8, graduated from high school at 11, and is currently enrolled in Austin Community College.
     She reached another achievement when the store Nordstrom started selling her fall line, Urban Camper. The basis of her clothing designs include her love of painting. "It definitely has a street vibe, a little bit of grunge aspect to it, a lot of hippy elements," said Taylor, when she spoke to USA Today. 
     Clearly Taylor has never let age be a factor in pursing her dreams. She wants others to know that is she can achieve her dreams, they can too.
