Welcome to my fundraising page. I'm Lacey, a believer in the power of books, a kindergarten teacher, a wife, a momma and a woman who believes in the power of blessing those in need.
This is the 3rd annual Bookworms team partnership with My Stuff Bags. We accept donations to fill duffel bags for children in crisis all over our country. My Stuff Bags is an amazing organization that works alongside many different child welfare agencies in every state. They provide duffel bags full of items for children who are placed into foster care emergently, often with nothing at all. It is their mission to provide these children a piece of dignity and love.
It is my deepest desire to bless others by utilizing my resources as effectively as possible and to give back to our community and to our country. I dream of being able to help during crisis, and yet, I don't feel as if my small contribution can possibly help in a significant way. Through this book drive, I am able to partner with other women and donors like you and together, we make a HUGE impact!
To date our Usborne Books & More team has raised over $55,000 in books (thanks to the generosity of Usborne and their commitment to match ALL donations by 50%)! Last year we were able to stuff 1,200 duffel bags for the youngest victims of Hurricane Harvey. That is something to be proud of!
Your donation will allow us to purchase two books. The first is for the younger children. It is a book called Cuddle Bear and comes with a teddy bear plush. It is a book about love. The second is for older children, Hello Happy! and No Worries! these books guide children to writing and working through their emotions in a healthy way. Journaling has been shown to have many positive benefits during trauma.
No donation is too small. Usborne will match it! I believe that you and I can continue to do great things when we work TOGETHER!
