Often when sexually abused children are taken out of their homes and placed in the foster-care system, they have to leave behind all their belongings. Enter the Children's Alliance of Hawaii, a nonprofit organization that provides these children with necessities — a rolling duffel bag with three sets of new clothing, school supplies, toiletries and other essentials. The bags are given to children entering the system through the Children's Justice Center of O'ahu. Want to help out?
