After celebrating her birthday on Thursday, an 11-year-old Luxemburg girl hopes you will help other kids in the community feel as blessed as she does. The Brien family has opened its door to kids in foster and respite care in the past, which in turn helped Paisley see what those children did not have to call their own as they bounced between different living situations. Just over a week ago, Paisley launched the "I Got Your Back" program, collecting personal hygiene products, clothing, small toys, and other items to fill backpacks for kids from birth to 18 years old. Giving back to the community is nothing new for the Brien family, which helped start the Luxemburg-Casco Clothing Closet in Casco. A few posts later on social media, Paisley has been able to collect enough items to fill dozens of backpacks. Paisley says it happened so fast, but she is excited to see the impact "I Got Your Back" will have in Kewaunee County.

The Brien family supports Paisley's mission, helping her drive across the community to pick up donations and sort the items before their distributed. Paisley's dream for I Got Your Back is to expand it into neighboring counties and turn it into a full-fledged non-profit. You can find out what is being collected and where you can donate below.
