Funded Jul 22, 2023Thank you for your donation. It has already begun to make its difference in the hearts and minds of the young people in my English 2 class. Students have related how they were surprised at how much better it felt to use a physical book again. They were writing on bookmarks, post-it notes, flipping back and forth between connected events, and other things only possible with a book rather than a PDF or digital content.
In addition students were affected by the idea that the book in their hands was the result of someone seeing a need on a website and putting money toward it rather than clicking on by. You've made that difference for them; empathy and kindness not as an abstract, but as a phenomenon directly affecting them and their classroom experience.
I hope this thank you finds you doing well, and that whatever part of you that responds to needs in this way continues to thrive and brings you the recognition you deserve. Whether that's something you're seeking or not, you do deserve it.”
With gratitude,
Mr. Phan
