My Nonprofit Reviews

The idea that children brought to the foster care system do not have a dignified and personal item to carry their belongings was untenable and Day1Bags was born by Hunter Beaton.

Later, Hunter was approached about donating handmade quilts to young people graduating from school and leaving foster care. This created a partnership between quilters/sewists in Texas and Day 1 Bags. I made 2 quilts for the first year as I understand what it means to have your own “stuff”.

I made 2 quilts and 1 zipper bag during year 1. My quilters donated their quilting services as part of their gift to the young people. It was a very rewarding experience!
