Homeschool junior Cecilia Clark and freshman Rylea Laux (pictured) are teaming up to help children in foster care this Christmas. Cecilia was once part of the foster system herself, and since being adopted by foster parents has attempted to help other foster children by creating for them “Ready to Go Kits.” As foster children regularly move, the kits provide them with a personal message of encouragement and essential items such as toiletries as they move between homes.
Rylea met Cecilia during an entrepreneurship class offered by teacher Judy Adair and volunteered to use her skills as a seamstress to sew bags for the kids during the Christmas season. Rylea launched her own business selling sewed items. She also plans to continue to collaborate with Cecilia to help foster children in the New Year.
Cecilia welcomes the donation of toiletries and gift cards for her Ready to Go Kits.
