In a quiet but powerful gesture of compassion, Pain to Purpose, a community-driven initiative, delivered a set of suitcases and essential toiletries to Cuero Child Protective Services (CPS) this week. The donation is part of a broader mission to replace the all-too-common image of foster children arriving at new placements with their belongings stuffed into trash bags—a symbol of neglect that advocates are determined to erase.
Accepting the donation were Janell and Katherine, representatives of Cuero CPS, who stood beside the open trunk of a car filled with neatly packed suitcases. The moment, captured in a photo shared by Friends of DeWitt County Children, reflects a growing movement to restore dignity and care to some of the most vulnerable members of the community.
Pain to Purpose has been working tirelessly to ensure that children entering foster care are met not just with basic necessities, but with a message: You matter. You are seen. You deserve better.
Supporters are encouraged to visit Pain to Purpose’s social media pages to learn more about their mission and how to contribute. Whether through donations, volunteer work, or simply spreading the word, every effort helps rewrite the story for children who deserve more than a trash bag—they deserve a future packed with hope.
