Books For Kids Who Cannot Go Online

PLEASE HELP LOW-INCOME AND HOMELESS FAMILIES DURING COVID-19. Hi, my name is Willhelm and I am 14 years. I am part of a team that is on a mission to help low-income kids and their families.
Many of us take remote learning and working from home for granted. What we do not realize is how much of a privilege it is. My team wants to help low-income and homeless families in Chicago who cannot access online educational resources. My team has already put together an activity e-book for thousands of families. A hard copy book will cost around $3! Your donation would enable us to print our activity books to send off to the families that need this resource the most. We'll partner with an organization called Cradles to Crayons to reach these families.
When I started online school I had everything I needed to stay educated from home, such as unlimited paper, a computer, lots of art supplies, and most importantly wifi to access all the online learning tools. I realized that there are so many low-income kids that do not have the resources that I have. The main reason that we are making a book is because these families do not have computers or wifi. We hope the kids of these families will like the book.
All the money that I collect here will be used to print my team's books. The more money we collect the more copies will be made. Here is a quick overview of the format. This book begins with a section called “Happy Me” where children are encouraged to think about the many ways that make them special, and ends with a section full of riddles to keep them (and adults) guessing and giggling throughout the day. In between, you’ll find brain teasers, exercise routines, and snack suggestions. I should add that we have made two different books, one for kids under 6 and another for kids ages 6+.
My team wants every kid to feel special and valued. Will you please help?
