Student Speaks with WVII About Starting Nonprofit for Foster Children
WVII (Channel 7) interviewed University of Maine student Sara Disselkamp about Something to Snuggle, a nonprofit she started to create and donate handmade blankets to foster children. “I’ve always known I wanted to give back to children in the foster care system or other adoptees,” said Disselkamp, a social work major who was adopted herself. Disselkamp said she chose blankets because often when children are removed from a home, they don’t have anything other than the clothes they’re wearing. “I feel so passionately that everyone deserves to have something to call their own,” she said.
