Long awaited video of assembling and donating the teen foster care comfort bags! 🎉

Thank you to everyone who helped make this project possible 🧸💗

I actually made and delivered these July 28, but I was super busy with moving and starting medical school, so I was just now able to edit and post this video! 😌

I had one more project that I wasn't able to complete before I moved, so stayed tuned for that! 👀 Hopefully I'll be able to do that within the next month or so! 🤞🏽

I donated the 4 baby caddies to The Rainbow Room in Odessa! 🌈👶🏼 Thank you to everyone who donated; without your help, I wouldn't have been able to make these!

I hope your generosity can serve as a form of support for the babies and families going through a difficult situation/transition. 🫂

I am still making comfort bags for kids and teens, and I need about 44 more items to complete all 16 bags. If you would like to help with that, the links to the Amazon Wish List and GoFundMe are in the comments!

Thank you for helping me spread kindness! 💗🧸

Sincerely,
Nataly Sotelo 💌
