‘Handbags & Backpacks for Hope' campaign starts in Travis County
Content Warning: This article discusses domestic violence and sexual assault. If you are in distress and need someone to talk to, please call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 or text 'Start' to 88788, or call the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 1-800-656-4673. AUSTIN (KXAN) — The Travis County Sheriff's Office and nonprofit Texas Advocacy Project (TAP) announced their 2025 'Handbags & Backpacks for Hope' campaign at a Monday press conference, during which they will collect bags to put 'life-saving information in the hands of survivors across Texas.' The campaign will take new bags, specifically purses, tote bags, diaper bags, and backpacks, at drop off points shown below. TAP's focus is on supporting survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse, stalking and human trafficking, according to its mission statement. The nonprofit has been active since the 1980s. The nonprofit's CEO Heather Bellino said this year's campaign is the first time TAP has tried to merge its Handbags for Hope and Backpacks for Hope campaigns. 'Many years, we'd get more handbags and less backpacks, but we think if the call to action as elevated and louder, then the community will come together and make sure that we are supplying these very important bags to the people who need them the most,' she said. 'This campaign started at the very beginning of my career, and I have seen it grow and blossom, and it means the world to me, because it says that the community is here in support of victims,' Bellino said. 'We're no longer keeping this hidden … we, as a community, are saying this abuse is not acceptable in our backyard.' Travis County Sheriff Sally Hernandez and Travis County Precinct 5 Constable Carlos Lopez also spoke at the Monday press conference. 'We make amplifying the voice of victims a high priority here when it comes to domestic violence and abuse … we want to provide them all of the resources and all the help that we can possibly provide them,' Hernandez said. 'Oftentimes, a survivor of abuse doesn't often get out of that situation quickly, but when they do … they're going to grab whatever.' Bill named for UT Austin student passes, closes sexual assault loophole 'Domestic violence is an epidemic. The Texas Advocacy Project has been so innovative in coming up with ideas on how we can help the victims escape, because many times they don't have ample time to gather everything that they need,' Lopez said. 'Inside the [bag] is pertinent information that they need when they do escape. When we started all this, the children would give the purses to their mothers on Mother's Day.' Lopez said he believed the campaign could gather at least 5,000 bags. The campaign ends June 28. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Burying my 14-year-old was my worst nightmare. This is the question I wish I'd asked.
Burying my 14-year-old was my worst nightmare. This is the question I wish I'd asked. | Opinion Gun injuries are the leading cause of death in the U.S. for children and teens. The rate of them dying from firearms has gone up 106% since 2013. We can save children from that tragedy. Show Caption Hide Caption New Mexico deputies disarm two boys in coordinated response Newly released drone footage captured two boys passing a loaded weapon before being surrounded by sheriff's deputies. The sheriff's office blurred their faces. When I bought my 14-year-old son a crisp, navy suit with a yellow bowtie for his upcoming spring formal, I never imagined that I'd have to bury him in it just days later. My radiant, joyful boy went over to a family member's house, where he and his cousin found an unsecured gun in a drawer, hidden beneath a T-shirt. They started playing with it, not realizing it was loaded. Minutes later, JaJuan was gone. The phone call we received that afternoon, informing us what happened, was every parent's worst nightmare. And it was entirely preventable. My husband and I had always been protective of JaJuan. We had taught him as a child to look both ways before crossing the street and not to accept rides from strangers. And we had always ask other parents the usual questions – about screen time, video games and curfews – before letting JaJuan go to a friend's house. But we never asked: "Is there a gun in the house? If so, is it stored securely?" It never occurred to us that the thing that posed the greatest risk to JaJuan's life would be a firearm, but gun injuries are the leading cause of death for children and teens in the United States. And since 2013, the firearm death rate among children and teens has increased by 106%. Opinion: Gun violence stole our children from us. Mother's Day carries loss – and hope. We can agree that children shouldn't die from guns One of the things I've realized since my son passed away is that addressing gun violence and its impact – especially on children – doesn't have to be a partisan issue. With our children and teens at the center of this crisis, it can't be. A recent study from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health showed that gun injuries claimed over 2,500 children's lives in 2022 – more than car crashes, overdoses or cancers. For older teens, 1 out of every 3 ages 15-17 who died in 2022 died as a result of a firearm injury. Whether you're a lifelong gun owner or someone who has never touched one, we all want our children to be safe. And there are plenty of solutions that the majority of Americans support – if we'd simply start a conversation about gun violence prevention, one rooted in the common ground we share. In fact, 8 in 10 Americans agree that productive conversations can help reduce gun injury and death among children and teens. Everyone shares the goal of reducing suicides and unintentional shootings – which in 2022 accounted for nearly 60% of all gun deaths. These tragedies often receive less media attention than intentional shootings, but they devastate families and communities all the same. To save lives, we need a cultural shift. That starts in our homes and communities, with conversations that help people understand how asking simple questions, practicing secure storage and understanding the signs of a mental health crisis can prevent irreversible loss. Opinion: I survived the FSU shooting. Your thoughts and prayers are killing us. Talk to kids, other parents about gun safety. Here's how. For starters, ask other parents, friends and relatives if they keep firearms and how they're stored. It might feel awkward at first. But just like you'd ask about peanuts if your child has an allergy, asking about guns could save a life. Similarly, parents – even the ones who don't personally own guns – need to talk to their kids about firearm safety. Make sure kids understand that guns aren't toys, and as a precaution, what to do – and not do – if they see one. Ultimately, it's the adults' responsibility to keep them safe. We also need to normalize open conversations around mental health. This is especially important when it comes to putting necessary time and space between a teen in a moment of crisis and a firearm, so that they don't make a tragically irreversible decision. Parents of teens who show signs of emotional distress – like becoming suddenly withdrawn or having decreased interest in school and other activities – should consider alternative storage options for their firearms until the crisis passes. I don't enjoy talking about this topic, but I've become so passionate about this issue because JaJuan's story could help save another family from going through what we did. Talking about secure storage and crisis intervention doesn't have to be controversial. It just has to be done to protect our children. I encourage – in fact, I beg – other parents to start those lifesaving conversations today. And for those who don't know where to begin, information and resources to help start the conversation are available. We don't have to – and might not – always agree on everything, but we can all agree that we can all play a role in creating a safer America where gun violence is no longer the leading cause of death for children and teens. Julvonnia McDowell is the mother of a son who died from an unintentional shooting and is an advocate for secure gun storage.
