Cendrillon (Cinderella) is an orphan in a stepfamily home…
In support of the more than 16,000 children in foster care around the state, Ohio State Opera & Lyric Theatre is partnering with Fostering Hope to support their Journey Bag Program.
How do children function in these difficult and unstable circumstances?
Children in foster care often move multiple times, using only a garbage bag to carry their few belongings. Fostering Hope's Journey Bag Program provides a more human and dignified solution. The Journey Bag — a brand-new duffel bag — is filled with comfort items such as a blanket, a pillow, a stuffed animal and toiletries.
You can make a difference.
Help us provide dignity to another Cendrillon. Donate a duffel bag for under $20. Visit the Journey Bag Wish List on Amazon and be sure to indicate “OSU” on the gift note.
Fostering Hope is a non-profit organization in Northeast Ohio whose mission is to enrich the lives of children living in foster care and residential treatment by providing unique experiences and giving the community opportunities to profoundly impact a child's life.
