Happy Holidays! I hope the season is filled with joy and love for you and yours.

If you have a minute, please take a look at my Reader to Reader projects- we get books in the hands of those that don't otherwise have access to them. Thanks for your consideration!

Happy Reading,

Hi Bala, October vote for yo…
Hi Bala,


October vote for you, just in time for Halloween! Wanna hear something scary? Children in low-income neighborhoods have access to only one age-appropriate book on average for every 300 children. Only ONE book! That impacts over 16,400,000 children in the United States.



Even more frightening, 80% of preschool and after-school programs serving low-income populations have no age-appropriate books for their children. Books are so important to a child’s development for learning, imagination and literacy.



Please help Reader to Reader get books into these communities. We donate hundreds of thousands of books each year directly to schools, after-school programs, classrooms, day care programs and other groups serving low-income children across the country. Your donation of $10 today will help us send a box full of much-needed books to6 children that deserve better.
Thanks for all your support, and spread the word!


Happy reading,
Kat (and the Reader to Reader team)

CROWDRISING SINCE: Sep 05, 2010
Stuff About Me:

I live in Detroit suburbs with my beautiful wife and two kids. I have always believed that giving is not an option but our essential duty. The poor and disadvantaged are constrained thru no fault of their own. I am just a regular guy trying to make a difference in a small way. Donating and participating/voting here feels special. When you put a human face to the supporter of that charity and hear their project story that's just super cool, Crowdrise is awesome!!

I don't always drink beer but when I do, I drink... Wait!! I meant to say - I don't always implement this in practice, but want to live this principle everyday: Seva, Sadhana, Satsang (That's Sanskrit from the Yogis). Seva is service. Sadhana is meditation. Satsang is the company of good people.

I am super excited to find crowdrise. The people here are amazing, this is Satsang indeed :)
