running on the playground, and learning how to draw the number eight like a
racetrack instead of a snowman.</span></span><span class="eop"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

the Principal’s office where she met two police officers. Her and her sister
were then taken to the police station where they were separated and
interrogated.</span></span><span class="eop"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

asked Shelly.</span></span><span class="eop"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

could hear her dad’s voice in the hall and thought he was coming to pick her
up, but she was wrong. It would be years before she would interact with her
father without glass in between them. </span></span><span class="eop"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

Valley Police.” It was the only comfort she had with her. There was no
explanation for why she was there. There isn’t a lot of language to explain to
a six-year-old that your parents were arrested for </span></span><span class="normaltextrun"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">drug
trafficking, drug dealing, illegal possession of weapons, and more. </span></span><span class="eop"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

went straight into foster care.</span></span><span class="eop"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

shooed the girls away.</span></span><span class="eop"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="paragraph" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;"><span class="normaltextrun"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“I remember being like, ‘I want to see my Dad and Mom!’” Shelly
recalls. “But it was like a mug shot on the television.” Her dad was sentenced
to over 7 years in federal prison. Her mother was in and out of jail, battling
addiction and mental illness. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="paragraph" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;"><span class="eop"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

situation. Not only was it difficult to be away from her parents in a new
environment, but the foster families also were not ideal. One family wouldn’t
let any of the foster children sit on the furniture, like they were dogs. </span></span><span class="eop"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

good family and sometimes you get a not so good family.” Shelly explains.
“Social services try their best, but at the same time, they need homes. So,
anyone who is willing to volunteer—sometimes the bad ones get through the
cracks.”</span></span><span class="eop"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

night with a long t-shirt like a nightgown with some green and pink striped
bicycle shorts. Shelly recalls one time her sister telling her to not take her
shorts off.</span></span><span class="eop"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

They’re too tight,” Shelly complained.</span></span><span class="eop"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

dad in that home had been sexually molesting her sister.</span></span><span class="eop"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

three foster homes, then placed in a kinship with her aunt. She lived with her
mother when she had custody, once living with her grandfather, living out of a
car, and her mother’s boyfriend’s places.</span></span><span class="eop"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="paragraph" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.0pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

then fall off the wagon soon after. This resulted in a lot of back-and-forth
between her mother, her aunt, and foster homes.</span></span><span class="eop"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="paragraph" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;"><span class="normaltextrun"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">The last time Shelly lived with her mother in a trailer park, her
and her sister got into a huge fist fight.</span></span><span class="eop"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="paragraph" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.0pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

illustrated. “One day I decided to stand up for myself and my mom came home in
the middle of the scene.”</span></span><span class="eop"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="paragraph" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;"><span class="normaltextrun"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“Get out! You can’t live here anymore!” Shelly’s mother screamed.
Shelly was kicked out of her house at just 12 years old. </span></span><span class="eop"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="paragraph" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.0pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="paragraph" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;"><span class="normaltextrun"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">So, Shelly hopped the fence and went to the nearest gas station to
call her best friend. To avoid being placed in the foster system again, she
stayed with her friend’s family all throughout middle school. It was humble
living, a small old home on the south side of Salt Lake, three-bedroom,
one-bath. But they took her in and even cleared space for her to have her own
room. And her mother? Well, her relationship with her mother was essentially
over. Shelly remembers one time seeing her mother show up and ask for a clean
urine sample so she could be cleared for probation.</span></span><span class="eop"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="paragraph" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.0pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

was her safe haven, no one would fight, yell, or hurt her.</span></span><span class="eop"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="paragraph" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.0pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

released. But he was high on drugs and Shelly had to sleep on the couch. They
fought over his responsibilities and how he should be a better father figure.
Not long after, he was arrested again when </span></span><span class="normaltextrun"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">he
kidnapped a girl while he was high. This time he ended up serving a sentence up
to life in prison.</span></span><span class="eop"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="paragraph" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;"><span class="eop"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></span></p>

to register her and there needed to be a permanent address. This resulted in
her having to move back with her aunt and go to school in Magna.</span></span><span class="eop"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

grandfather was living there at the time and Shelly adored him. And she did so
good in school that she could have graduated her junior year. Already making
$16 an hour as a CNA, Shelly decided to finish out her education taking college
courses, including an EMT class. And by age 17, she was living in an apartment
with roommates.</span></span><span class="eop"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

I loved theater. It was another escape; I could be somebody else. And my Senior
year, I had a good part, but I had to quit so I could go to work to pay the
rent.”</span></span><span class="eop"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

move to Texas, then to Oregon where they started their family of their own.
They returned to Utah with their two daughters and settled in beautiful Cache
Valley—where Shelly’s husband was raised. Soon they will be celebrating their
fifteenth wedding anniversary. Shelly still loves theater and has seen
shows from New York to San Francisco.</span></span><span class="eop"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

hunting for a place to donate during the holiday season with her family.</span></span><span class="eop"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

care easier by providing comfort kits for every foster care child from newborn
babies, all the way to the age of 17. These comfort kits, which are a backpack
full of age appropriate things, are given to every Department of Child and
Family Services office throughout the state. Each child receives a backpack,
blanket, and a book, then other items from five different age groups.</span></span><span class="eop"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

child, they simply grabbed things to shove in a garbage bag and said, “We’re
leaving.” The less fortunate don’t have time to grab any personal belongings
before being ushered to a police car. The child may have nothing of theirs to
call their own except for the clothes on their back.</span></span><span class="eop"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

was hooked and frequently volunteered. Over time, Shelly brought all her
experience with foster care and knowledge from volunteering in the community,
raising funds for the PTA, serving on the School Community Council and Charter
School Governing Board, and joined the Little Lambs Foundation for Kids Board
of Directors as the Fundraising Coordinator. </span></span><span class="eop"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

a monetary donation is best. While tangible items are always appreciated,
Little Lambs has ways to stretch the dollar, and find great deals which go a

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Written by: Jillian Loveday</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">An
infant cries from a raw, crimson diaper rash due to rationing diapers. An
earnest parent wants to do what is best for the child, but diapers are
expensive and not available through food stamps. Staph and urinary tract
infections are pending for the child. Of course, the parent caves and uses the
rationed diapers, what else can they do? But soon the diapers are gone. Do they
use a towel next? A t-shirt? A parent’s sanity spirals. This scenario is all
too real for those in communities without a diaper bank.</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Statistically,
one in three American families suffer from a diaper shortage. For those just on
the poverty line, the $70 monthly expense for diapers is unattainable. Without
the Little Lambs Foundation in Logan, this painted picture could turn into a
reality.</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Little
Lambs Foundation — among all their wonderful work with foster kids — is also a
local diaper bank. Every Thursday, this generous gem facilitates supplemental
diaper needs for low income parents. If qualified, parents could receive up to
80 diapers a month for their infant or 60 diapers a month for their toddler.
Sometimes this is just what parents need to get back on their feet.</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">In
2019, Little Lambs distributed 372,818 diapers, helping just over 12,000
families. With numbers this large, you wonder how they do it all. It’s simple,
they attribute these results to wonderful donors and volunteers like you.</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Yellow
netted bags full of every size of donated diapers and wipes are stacked on
shelves in the small warehouse just off of 10th West in Logan, UT. In the entryway,
there is Gerber baby food, rice grain cereal, oatmeal, Similac formula, and
hygiene kits full of soap, toothbrushes, nail clippers, and shampoo. On the
wall just above all of this reads a sign, “Please take what you need.” </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Director,
Ted, and his son welcome visitors at the front desk. Director, Shelly, and her
two daughters are in the back, stamping books for the literacy program and
packaging diapers for future pickups.</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">There
is a sense of hope and love in the building. Women walk through the front door,
sign in and are given their monthly allowance of diapers for their baby. Ted
asks how they are doing and offers all the necessities in the corner. These
women aren’t here to just take, they bring anything to give back to a place
that has so willingly given to them. They offer clothes that are no longer
needed and unopened cans of formula, all to benefit another parent in need.</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Later
in the evening, an unsure and shy youth group arrives. This small army starts
to pack stacks of diapers. The feeling of camaraderie builds as these teenage
girls come together to do something good. They are all there for a purpose, to
benefit someone in need.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<br />
Little Lambs Foundation for Kids is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that provides diapers and baby supplies to low-income families and comfort kits to children placed in foster-care, entering emergency shelters and escaping domestic violence.<br />
<br />
In the state of Utah, there is an average of 2,900 children in the foster-care system at any given time. During a foster care removal, the children are removed quickly from their home due to neglect and other dangerous situations. Getting the child into a safe environment is the first priority of social workers and police officers, therefore, the child’s personal items are left behind. With our Little Lambs Comfort Kit Program, we provide a backpack filled with items that no child should ever go without. A comfort kit contains items to help bring hope, support, and love to the children during their traumatic time.<br />
<br />
Our Little Lambs Diaper Bank Program is helping babies across Utah to be happy, healthy and dry. An inadequate amount of diapers forces parents to have to leave their child in a soiled diaper longer which often leads to diaper rash, and can cause staph and urinary tract infections.<br />
<br />
With your support our foundation stocks local emergency safe houses and the Division of Child and Family Services offices with hands-on resources to distribute to children and families in desperate need. Below is a list of items that we collect on an ongoing basis. (All items must be new.) Monetary donations are always needed.<br />
<br />
Thank you so much for your support! Together we can make a difference. Please call or text with any questions at 435-764-4439. You can also visit our website at <a href="http://www.littlelambsofutah.org/?fbclid=IwAR1VUhDDRBbAivawVmh6XD-uCe_OV3AP0fTHyxEOFKKbpC71kuF2O0wHUSE">www.littlelambsofutah.org</a> or email us at littlelambsofutah@aol.com<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Oh the places we go.. This has been a really busy September. 296 comfort kits have been delivered to several agencies in UT. I'm so grateful these precious children will receive a comfort kit during their transition into foster care.. The need is rapidly growing.. Little Lambs is currently serving 15 counties in UT and we need your support to reach every child in Utah that is going through these traumatic situations! We are currently totally out of toddler blankets/quilts..If you can help us fill this need please email us at littlelambsofutah@aol.com or we have a PayPal account at littlelambsofutah@aol.com Thank you for your continued support!!</span>littlelambsofutahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05255448586818498845noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-239448960462788248.post-64078451892790537552017-09-12T22:40:00.002-07:002017-09-12T22:42:06.735-07:00<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Looking for a easy & fun sewing project?? We are always in need of stuffed friends for our baby & age 1- 3 children's comfort kits. I love this free elephant pattern by Birch Fabrics. It is perfect to use up those fabric scraps and works great with fleece, baby flannel or cotton fabrics & best of all the eyes are sewn on so no choking hazards for the little ones. <a href="http://birchfabrics.blogspot.com/2013/07/free-pattern-tutorial-henry-helga.html">Free elephant pattern</a></span><br />

On June 24th Little Lambs Foundation for Kids is hosting a summer packing party! Come get out of the heat & serve along side us as we assemble 200 backpacks full of supplies for children transitioning into foster care & emergency shelter placement. There will also be a representative at the event from the Utah Foster Care Foundation to answer any questions you may have about opening your heart & home to a child in need. We will have a sign up on <a href="https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fjustserve.org%2F&h=ATPZdQW6uTQZ5AByRqrmJGRBQiTSZ2OnzzoY8mBosDqFtPXmnkVZUBBqke8jEp71GCv-VV9y0e03SOFG7tVpsSJainNbw5E8NTZTlKP7in8dXHHCJNlFvkFB5BnC5T-VbaLwBqe0_D_6XBzXxgXhjQ&enc=AZMazeUcmqP9A1phFr44AHY1Cqad1HVoWZIh1Nh0QxJqdYJTuA4lPBCmZWWh9vim5A9_8y_BhIL9HPEb4k4iq3JZ565oSdGHtImTzSx2Rq5KoOBTaIZLwdSqUspDaIVc_zbMFwfgJwxxWSmm_BZ7jzrr846ef9EAnQZRvM4aKPlNrILGlmBeHMrl8iXoMmcpqrM&s=1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">justserve.org.</a> Please RSVP so we can have a count on volunteers <span class="_47e3 _5mfr" title="smile emoticon"><span aria-hidden="1" class="_7oe">:)</span></span> We have had several people ask what items we collect on an ongoing basis so I have attached a flyer with our collection list.

This week we were blessed to deliver 193 children's comfort kits to West Valley DCFS & 300 comfort kits to Sandy, UT DCFS. We also delivered 30 homeless outreach bags to Youth Futures in Ogden & 12 busy kits to Brigham City hospital for children coming into their emergency room. Little Lambs couldn't help these children without our support from our community! Thank you for making a difference in so many children's lives!</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; display: inline; float: none; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"></span><br />
