LUXEMBURG, Wis. (WFRV) - Paisley Brien is a ten-year-old from Luxemburg who has created a program called "I Got Your Back" in an effort to make a difference one kid at a time. "My family is always looking for ways to give back to the community, and I wanted to do something new and make kids going into foster care feel more at home with comfort items, hygiene items," explained Brien. Harry Potter Film Concert Series returns to the Weidner Center in Green Bay Paisley beamed as she talked about how much fun it had been putting the backpacks together. She told Local 5's Samantha Petters she wants to help other kids feel as fortunate as she does. "We've done respite and foster care, and Kewaunee has no ongoing projects to help with foster care," she said. "It's been exciting putting the backpacks together and seeing how well the community has responded, and it makes me feel happy." Paisley's parents expressed how remarkable it has been to see Paisley show so much care for others and take the initiative to chase after her dreams. "As parents, we are so incredibly proud of the work she is doing. She has a heart of gold and is always looking for ways to help others. We are in the beginning stages of helping her turn this goal into a non-profit to serve Kewaunee County into the future. What we thought was going to be a small project really grew into a family mission. We are excited to see what this holds for Paisley and the youth of Kewaunee County." The Brien's Green Bay Charity Softball Game to kickoff the Memorial Day weekend Toys and hygiene items are among some of the supplies Paisley puts in backpacks. Coloring books, blankets, board games, stuffed animals, toothbrushes, and hair brushes are some of the items Paisley has collected. Drop-off locations are set up throughout town, including the Multi-Color Corporation at 1102 Jefferson St. in Algoma, and Stodola's IGA located at 602 Center Dr. in Luxemburg.
