FOSTERing Literacy

Books open our minds to new worlds and build the foundation for unlimited possibilities in our own.

Every book that we give to a foster child gifts is the gift of a positive experience. Children love being read to, it’s a powerful bonding experience that helps to create a love of learning and inspires creativity and imagination.

Gift the love of reading to foster youth today!

There are 6 skills that help to improve literacy in children. How can you help: consider making a one time donation (anything helps to put a book into a child’s hands), become an advocate and give a monthly tax deductible donation, or like and share to spread our message!

70% of the children in Foster Care want to attend college. However less than 3% of the children who age out will earn a college degree; and 1 out of 4 won’t graduate from high school or earn a GED. (Source: National Foster Youth Institute)

FOSTERing literacy continues to inspire a love of learning by helping children gain access to books at an early age. Empowering children to read in early childhood development can improve future educational outcomes. One $40 donation sends a child a brand new book bundle tailored to their interests. Gift the love of learning to a child today. Thank you for your continued support.

Dear Friends,
It’s a new year and here at FOSTERingLiteracy we created some resolutions for this year.

1. Send at least one-hundred book bundles to foster children by 31 December 2022.
2. Open a second FOSTERingLiteracy branch by July 2022, to increase our ability to support children across the country.
3. Continue to inspire the love of learning and share the power of story to Foster children along with the people, teams, and communities that support them.

We are so grateful for all of your support in the last year. Your generous contributions allowed us to begin FOSTERingLiteracy in 2021. Our fundraising goal for 2022 is $5000; this will enable us to achieve our resolutions. Please consider making a donation on our website www.FOSTERingLiteracy.org and help our children achieve greatness. Thank you, and happy New Year!

From real-life narratives to timelines and facts, each fully illustrated book focuses on the life of an inspirational historical or modern figure. Explore the childhood, the achievements, and the qualities of each figure – the very things that helped them have such an incredible impact on the world.

We are excited to partner with The Bair Foundation as they plan their back-to-school drive. With the money donated from now until then, we’ll have the opportunity to pass out brand new books to foster families. Go to www.FOSTERingLiteracy.org to help.

Good afternoon 🙂

We have agreed to partner with The Bair Foundation here in San Antonio. They have an annual back-to-school event in a few months where Drew and I can go hand out book bundles directly to the foster children and families at the event. We wanted to update our more regular donors so they can help spread the word. If you know anyone or a business that wants to make a one-time donation, that would be awesome! 😎 Text Amanda for more info: 210-502-7830.
