expRealty hosts blanket event at Brew Dog
Adam and his colleagues at expRealty held a blanket-making event at Brew Dog Brewery where they enjoyed spending the evening together and making 30 blankets for MVOB! Adam and his wife were motivated by their experience fostering to adopt a child. We are thrilled that they have become supporters.
Belongings in a paper bag
In this video, Betty tells us the story of her husband that contains echoes of the stories of so many children entering foster care with their belongings in trash bags. Her work with MVOB is in honor of her late husband.
Hear Jessica on the Fostering Change Podcast
In late 2022, Jessica Rudolph participated in a podcast, Fostering Change, with the founder of Comfort Cases, Rob Scheer.
Hear the story of the founding of MVOB, the evolution of the special tags, the plans MVOB has to expand into other countries and how people across the U.S. can get involved in our mission.
The Fostering Change podcast sponsor is Comfort Cases, one of our non-profit partners. A handmade blanket, and other comfort and personal care items, are included in each of the backpacks they provide for youth entering the foster care system, who often have to carry their belongings in trash bags. Your blankets help make these backpacks something of "their very own" that comforts the children on their often-traumatic journey through the foster care system.
