We are accepting donations to the Soft Toy Drive through the end of the month. So far I have a couple dozen contributions, but I&#8217;d love to be able to send at least 200 toys to the National Foster Parent Association conference in June. I heard from so many people involved in foster parenting who all agree that foster children often show up at a new home with hardly any personal belongings. Having a toy that is all their own to love and keep would mean so much. If you could help us spread the word to your readers, I would really appreciate it. All the information is in this <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sewmamasew.com\/2015\/02\/soft-toy-drive-to-benefit-children-in-foster-care\/\">post<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I am going to send in some pieces that were made as samples for books or prototypes for toys. I never knew what to do with them and this seems perfect.
