Why are you reporting this puzzle?

The inspiration for Orange Shirt Day came from residential school survivor Phyllis Jack Webstad, who shared her story at a St. Joseph Mission (SJM) Residential School Commemoration Project and Reunion event held in Williams Lake, British Columbia, in the spring of 2013.

Phyllis recounted her first day of residential schooling at six years old when her new orange shirt—bought by her grandmother—was taken away from her.

Her grandmother had taken her shopping for some clothes for her first day & Phyllis picked out a bright 7 shiny orange blouse. When she got to the residential school she was told to take it off and given a uniform. She never saw her favourite shirt again.

I am just now solving this puzzle from my backlog...and I don't own anything orange...where can I buy one of these orange shirts so I can honor Residential school survivors?
I will NEVER understand cruelty to children!!
