I Would Rather Be Reading Was Broken Into!
I Would Rather Be Reading (IWRBR) provides equitable access to literacy education and social-emotional learning to children with trauma backgrounds.

IWRBR provides reading mentoring, summer camps, after-school programs, family engagement sessions, and professional development for educators.

On Thursday, July 29, one of their site locations was broken into, and thousands of dollars of technology and resources were stolen. In addition, the children attending summer camp at the facility had to miss their last day for the summer due to the clean-up.

I hope to help the IWRBR team replace some of what was lost so that they can continue to focus on helping children in our community and getting their facility fixed in time for school to start. A little goes a long way for this amazing non-profit! Thank you for your support!
