Books for Students
Donation protected
My name is Steve and until recently I was a teacher librarian. In 2018 I was diagnosed with Stage IV Colon Cancer and since then have been through multiple types of chemotherapy treatments and two major surgeries. Sadly, IV chemotherapy is no longer working and at the beginning of this year I finally stopped working and applied for disability. I am now on an oral drug that may stabilize my cancer for a time, but have not been on it long enough for us to tell if it is effective yet.
I would like to purchase a book for each elementary and preschool student in my district. As a librarian it has been very important to me to get books into the hands of students and encouraging reading. This may be my last opportunity to serve my students in this way, so I hope that you will help me meet my goal. Any excess funds raised beyond what is needed will go towards literacy related causes such as funding other school libraries or donations to literacy related nonprofits.
