Backpacks

A lawyer in Detroit, Michigan wanted to make sure kids who wouldn't otherwise have supplies for school donated backpacks filled with supplies. They first started with one school by donating 400 backpacks then decided why not do even more. The Firm ended up providing 23,000 backpacks stuffed with supplies. This law firm wants these students to know there are people who care about them to succeed and to win in life. These students will never forget how this year was different from other years

A wonderful gesture by the attorneys, kudos to them for it. It will teach kids to be aware of others problems, and be kindhearted towards the needy.

@gregario888 I am sure that this has made a good impression on these children and is something they will remember for many years. Someone cares about them...

@Marcyaz Children always learn such things from their elders, especially when shown by their deeds, and a good deed, always leaves a lasting impression, on impressionable kids.

That is awesome. I hear of police offers donating backpacks to kids also. I think it's a great idea.

I wish more would do this type of things, I have heard of police officers donating backpacks also. I also think it is a great idea as no child wants to go to school and have no supplies or even a back

pack.

Now that is a great thing to do for those kids. But it is very odd coming from a law firm. Now, this is the second post today that I have read that was about something good. What a change. I like it.

@Marcyaz I am sure they won't. That was something special for those kids. Now, more companies need to step up to the plate and do things like this for people.

Wow, that's a lot of backpacks! Such a wonderful initiative by the lawyer. I hope this inspires others to come forward and help the needy as well. Sometimes you never know what it means to the people you're helping.

It was a lot of backpacks and the whole law firm was involved by the time the lawyer had this all together. I am sure the people who received these supplies will never forget how much it meant to them.

That is great! I often wonder why the rich who make big bucks and have the means don't do more for the homeless and unfortunate poor in their locals. I understand that some are selfish, self involved, etc. but the ones who aren't have staff that could do for them. I don't get it.

I guess some seem to think others should make their own way and not wait on others to be giving to them. Let's be thankful we have some with money who do things like this.

The helping hand extended by this firm would go a long way in shaping these young children's lives. I used to work for a charity program run by a hospital in our place. The organization adopted about 20 villages in Rural Rajasthan, and took care of all the healthcare needs of all the residents' They also served breakfast to all school children and took care of educational supplies for the students.

That is wonderful that they showed how much they cared for these people with their healthcare needs and serving breakfast and taking care of educational supplies for the students. A thumbs up to them for their generous use of their time.
