Coming Together for Foster Care, Ghost Hunts & Ice Cream

Send us a text

May is National Foster Care Awareness Month. It is a time to acknowledge the 463,000 American children and youth in foster care and the family members, foster caregivers, volunteers, mentors, child welfare professionals, and policymakers who help children and youth find permanent homes and connections.  
Today we welcome back our partners and friends over at ComfortCases.org. 
The founder, Rob has been on the show multiple times and we have had a blast. But this time, he has left the room! 
We are welcoming another important piece to the puzzle, Heidi Webb! 
Heidi breaks down what is exactly in a comfort case. But most importantly, she really paints an emotional picture of what it is like in the beginning for a child entering the system as they are given a plastic trash bag to put all of their belongings in. 
  Y’all, it is heart wrenching. 
Listen as Heidi talks about all of the hundreds upon hundreds of volunteers that come together to create these Comfort Cases, these packs stuffed with love. 
All to give these kids dignity in the darkest times of their lives. 

I strongly suggest you get involved with comfortcases.org like we have. 
And They are coming to New Orleans this Fall!

Then later, we welcome a BRAND SPANKIN' NEW SEGMENT! Sponsored by our friends at New Orleans Ice Cream Co. 
We present to you, "The NolaPapa Secret Fun Stop!"
My mission to find SECRET, FUN SPOTS around South Louisiana. We all have our usual places that we go to regularly. This is different. Think Unique!
Our first guest created her business 12 Years ago by captivating her tour groups filled with children of all ages as they walked the streets of the Historic French Quarter. 
Jill Dresser's inspiring story of perseverance will allow us all to be grateful for every moment, because our lives can change in a split second. 

"French Quar-Tour Kids" was created to make learning fun  in a new and exciting way. 
Jill has customized different Spooky Tours for the little ones from 4-9 years old and the Tween Twilight tour that is geared towards the older crowd. There are even more to choose from as well! 
She invited my kids to go on her "Spooky Treasure Hunt" and we had the best time! 
They especially loved playing with the real investigation gadgets!

I assure you that this is a SECRET FUN SPOT that your family will love!
