Today is the Last Day to give a Child a Chance! 📚💛

There’s still time to help more students across Jamaica start the school year prepared and confident with the books they need.

Every contribution brings us one step closer. 💚

We’re just $3,723.07 away from our goal! 🙌🏾 And we have the weekend to get there.

Every contribution brings us closer to helping a child return to school with the books and supplies they need to succeed. Don’t miss your chance to give a child a chance. 📚❤️

Help us close the gap this weekend and make a difference.
