A spring vote for you!

With all the headlines screaming disaster and heartache, it's easy to get disheartened. Reader to Reader has supported schools damaged by tornadoes, public libraries devastated by flooding, and communities deeply affected by local tragedy. But each day we see examples of how much good is out there. That goodness is not always in the headlines. Sometimes, it's tucked quietly away, but it's there, and is the very reason we do this work--to bring books and other resources to the next generation that so richly deserves them.

Reader to Reader needs your help to get books in the hands of children across the country. Will you donate or join our team? Your support makes a difference!

Thanks,
Kat

Hi Aimee,


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)

Hessle, East Yorkshire England
CROWDRISING SINCE: Aug 02, 2010
Stuff About Me:
I am currently a finalist at Loughborough University, studing Information Management and Business Studies however I am originally from East Yorkshire in the North of England.

In August 2011, my friend Dan and I will be travelling to China to teach English. Whilst there we will be volunteering at orphanages to help abandoned and orphaned children. China's one child policy means that hundrerds of thousands of children are abandoned every year. Please support these children by donating to our project which support the Half the Sky Foundation. Whilst there we will be keeping a blog to let you know how we're doing and showing you the good that your donations are doing.

I have many other projects that are also close to my heart, most notably supporting endometriosis sufferers and supporting families with children suffering from Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome. Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome is something that has affected my family and many other families. My cousins, Emily and Megan, died at a young age because of this genetic disorder and with there only being 50 reported cases worldwide there is very little support for it.

As an Endometriosis sufferer, I want to help other women who suffer from with the disease. it can have a truly horrible effect on the lives of women and affect their fertility.

Please help any of my projects, it's much appreciated!
