Usborne Books & More is excited to partner together with Leah Tarwater to run a Book Drive benefiting The Cooper Max Foundation in Burleson, TX.
The Cooper Max Foundation is an organization near and dear to Leah’s heart:
Three year old Cooper Max was diagnosed with a rare form of pediatric cancer on February 20, 2015. The doctors at Cook Children’s Hospital quickly began aggressive treatment. Cooper was given 14 rounds of 6 different chemotherapy treatments and 37 radiation treatments. The cancer was too much for his little body to bear. On March 16, 2016, Cooper gained his angel wings at just 4 years old.
I never had the honor of meeting Cooper. I knew his mom, Heather, through high school rodeos and re-connected with her after he passed. She was a huge support for me when my brother-in-law fought his own battle against cancer, and she is a huge support for other parents whose kids are facing the same horrible disease that her son battled.
Heather’s heart is to ease the burden of others. Having spent months living in the hospital during Cooper’s treatment, she and her husband wanted to help other families in the same situation be as comfortable as possible. One way their foundation does this is through Cooper Care Baskets. These are laundry baskets full of “home” comforts and necessities delivered to families at Cook Children’s Hospital whose children are there being treated for cancer. They deliver 15-20 baskets a month.
The Cooper Care Baskets always include books and activities for the children to enjoy. It is our goal to raise $1,000 to purchase amazing leisure, activity, coloring and puzzle books and plush/book sets from Usborne Books & More to help fill the Cooper Care Baskets. Usborne Books & More provides a 50% match, making your donation dollars go even further! That would be enough to fill 75-100+ baskets with these incredible books!
Your contribution will help provide a fun and welcomed distraction for children who are fighting for their lives. Please help us and the Cooper Max Foundation put a smile on their face and remind them and their families they are loved and thought of by many!
