Dear [Legislator Name],

Right now, … children are living in foster care in ….
Each year, approximately … children enter care.

No child should carry their life in a trash bag.

This is a small investment to protect dignity during one of the hardest days of a child’s life.

I respectfully ask you to support legislation or agency policy ensuring no child entering foster care is given a trash bag for their belongings.

Sincerely,
[Your Name]
[City, State]
