My Students

I can't imagine going through life not being able to read. This is the case for the large majority of my students.

As residential students my kids have missed out on much of their childhood.

These are the abandoned, abused and neglected children that no one wants and who are at the greatest risk for failure. My kids are middle schoolers who can't read past a 3rd grade level. They deserve the same education and the same chances as other children their age.

My Project

With your very generous donation I can begin to introduce my students to reading materials at their level and begin to build their confidence. Right now we have very little reading material at their level. Up until this year our school books consisted of copies of books and workbooks. Textbooks don't exist. These kids don't have a school library and have no Internet access in the classrooms. Your donation will help me to help them better.

These kids will be our future someday.

I want to be able to give them the gift of success and confidence that no one in their lives have been able to give them. Your donation will have a lasting and substantial impact on the rest of their lives.
