The Freshman
Assist program was visited by Jeanne Fowler from Big Family of Michigan. She was abused as a child and later as a foster
child. Her story is heartbreaking. She decided to help other foster children as
her life’s work. We built “love bags” consisting of a toothbrush, shampoo, a
stuffed animal, and other items. The bags are given to children the night they
are taken from an abusive home. The bag provides a little bit of comfort in a
terrible situation. We also collected all of the coloring books that were placed
in the bags. The students were really affected by Jeanne’s story, and did a
great job at the warehouse. Here is a picture of the group.
