Nelson: “They came up with the idea of making bags so if somebody lost their house or had a fire in their house or flood or some disaster in their house, they could be given these bags to help them get by and help them start over.”

Nelson: “One of the cool things about it is not only do they have all the stuff for them to start, but the case they made, the bag itself, has been decorated by the kids. Colored and decorated with messages so the family has a keepsake to start again with.”
Nelson said the bags will be kept inside CES trucks and handed out to families who suffer loss.
