Episode 78: Lyndsee Wunn – See a need, Create a solution. Foster Care & Boxes of Love.

Lyndsee Wunn is the founder of Boxes of Love which is a grassroots effort to provide babies and children entering foster care from local hospitals with a large box of new clothing, pajamas, shoes and other comfort items to call their own. Lyndsee is a pediatric nurse and she saw a shocking number of babies and children who would enter the foster care system with nothing but the clothes on their backs. After adopting her own son who her and her husband fostered for two years, Lyndsee knew she had to do something to change the way so many children enter the foster care system.
