How your bags will help...

Kathy was tragically shot in the hip during a domestic violence incident. As a result, she struggled physically and mentally, she had to relearn to walk, and felt she wasn't worthy.

Ever so slowly Kathy started rebuilding her life and it was at this point in time she received an It's in the Bag.

In amongst a bag of essential items, a note reading “You are not alone” restored her hope, and she clung to that message through many more of life’s hurdles as an ever-present reminder that to somebody out there she mattered.

By participating in Its in the Bag, you are helping women like Kathy, receive the love, hope, and dignity they deserve this Christmas.

Hosting your own packing party for Share the Dignity is a great way to help women receive the love, hope & dignity they deserve this Christmas.
