Meet our new partner, Stitched Together

We are blessed to have another partner in our mission to provide love and hope to children in foster care. Stitched Together, a family-run organization serving Central Ohio, was created to meet a need for kids entering the foster care system and give them a little hope during an uncertain time in their life.

Stitched Together wants to provide every kid entering foster care with their own Hope Case and something to call their own.
 
Hope Cases are backpacks filled with comfort items as well as essential items for children entering the foster care system. Hope cases ease their transition with something to call their own. Each Hope Case is packed with items specific to a certain age group.

Karie Griffin, Stitched Together’s founder, stopped in to meet us recently. We gave her a tour and some bags of blankets to include in the Hope Cases.  She and her daughter are shown at left ready to go home with the blankets.

Karie is a foster parent in the process of adopting her foster son.

 
She told us, “As a foster parent, I witnessed children entering the system arrive with nothing or with minimal items stuffed in a trash bag. These items are often things the social worker or police scooped up off the floor and may or may not belong to the child. Stitched Together provides Hope Cases to children entering the system. Hope Cases are backpacks for all age ranges that contain both comfort items and essential items.  These cases enable the child to have something to call their own and a little bit of hope in an uncertain time. We proudly serve the Central Ohio area.”
