Many of you who know me know that I am very passionate about children and their education. I was a former elementary school teacher and have seen what can happen when children have access to books. This is why I decided to hold a book drive for families in need.
We are facing a world-wide crisis like never before. We are separated
from our loved ones and forced to change our daily lives in
unimaginable ways. One of the greatest impacts on families right now
is the lack of access to books. Parents and teachers have stepped up
to the plate in an incredible way to provide education to their kids
within their homes. And while they are doing their best to adapt to
this “new normal”, with schools and libraries closed, they are
struggling to get their hands on the materials they need.
This is
where “Spreading Love through Literacy” comes in. We get to provide
books for families who may not be able to afford them right now. Not
only does book ownership support children’s education, it also helps
to:
- reduce stress within the home
- keep the use of
technology at an appropriate level
- give parents some quiet
time
- allow kids to “travel the world” within a book
We
need your help! My team is compiling names of families who are in need
of books, and you get to help make a difference in these families
lives! By making a financial donation to our cause, you are putting
books directly into the homes of kids who need them most.
Are you
ready to jump in and Spread Love through Literacy?!
