Every month, about 200 foster children in North Texas will receive their first medical checkup at the Rees Jones Centers for Foster Care Excellence.

Our goal is to donate brand new books to the Rees Jones Centers in Plano and Dallas so each child can go home with their own book.

That one book might just be the comfort that child needs to get through a difficult time in their life.

These books provide entertainment and education, for sure.....but even more than that, books also provide companionship, emotional support, academic help, confidence and a temporary escape.

These beautiful children need so much during this time in their lives.  Many have never had a book of their own.

When we reach our goal, at least 200 children will get a new book next month.  If we surpass our goal, we will be able to provide books to as many children as possible for the following month.  Every $1500 we raise provides a new book to each foster child visiting the medical clinic the following month.

Usborne Books and More has generously offered to match all donations with a 50% matching grant.  With their help and with all commissions donated, each $25 raised will buy high quality books for 3 more children.

Thank You for being a part of making this happen!

TOGETHER we can do this for these children.
