A college student’s charity is helping children in foster care by providing duffel bags so they don’t have to move their belongings in trash bags. The segment features JackEdward Schmick, who started the effort after experiencing foster care himself and wanted kids in transition to have more dignity and stability.

What the charity does

The project collects new duffel bags and distributes them to children entering foster care or moving between homes. That small change matters because children in care often have to move quickly, and a sturdy bag can make an already difficult moment feel a little more respectful.

Why it resonates

Schmick’s story stands out because he is turning a personal hardship into a practical solution for other kids. Similar efforts around the country are built on the same idea: no child should have to carry their life in a garbage bag.
