Pull into the alley behind Snooze for the suitcase drop!

Did you know that oftentimes, foster children are given a garbage bag to put their belongings in and move along to their next foster home? It breaks our hearts! We’re teaming up with The Lion Project to create a SUITCASE DRIVE-THROUGH to bring love into these difficult transitions!

A backstory behind our involvement with The Lion Project and our heart for the foster care system!

I (Brandi Shigley) have been sitting on the board for the Lion Project, a non-profit organization that helps accelerate other non-profits through storytelling. Through community projects and video production, the Lion Project focuses on a different issue every couple of years. This past year and into the next, our focus is on foster care.

Foster care is important to me! Abandoned at birth, orphaned, fostered and adopted into my forever home, God had a plan. This is my story.

I can’t help but share my gratitude for this life that has been given to me. A very special thanks to The Lion Project for coming alongside me to share my story. Thank you RSCC (my orphanage in Quezon City), my foster mother Marie Dehner (who stepped in and filled the gap until I was adopted), and of course my forever family, the Shigley’s!

I have been given so much love and want to share that love with the people I encounter.

For I know the plan I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
Jeremiah 29:11
