Story

I've created this page because I'm inspired by the work of READING TO KIDS. READING TO KIDS is a grassroots organization dedicated to inspiring underserved children with a love of reading, thereby enriching their lives and opportunities for success in the future. 

I've had the pleasure of volunteering for READING TO KIDS for the last 3 years, reading with students at elementary schools across LAUSD - many of which have some of lowest literacy rates in the state. I have seen the impact of what providing a safe space for learning and reading in English can have in low-income, predominantly Spanish-speaking communities. 

Join me in supporting to READING TO KIDS by clicking the 'Give Now' button. I'd greatly appreciate any contribution that you can make! The more people that know about READING TO KIDS, the greater their impact, so please spread the word by sharing my page with your friends and family. Thank you in advance for your generosity, it means so much to me!
