Six years ago, Linda lost her daughter. She felt very sad so she moved to another city. She met three girls there. The girls lived with a foster(寄养的) family in the neighborhood. They four became friends.

A few years later, the girls had to go to different foster homes. But they didn’t want to be separated. So they asked Linda for help.

Linda fostered the girls. When they arrived, Linda was in surprise. “They came with a trash(垃圾) bag. There were only a few clothes in the bag.” said Linda.

That was when Linda thought about other foster kids. They might have no clothes either. So Linda opened a shop. Foster kids can get free clothes and shoes here. Linda also wants to open an education(教育) center to help them study.
