<strong>Welcome to my Give-Back Birthday page!</strong> <p> Since turning 18 is a milestone for me, I want to help high-need kids in public schools reach a milestone in their life: the ability to read. Can you imagine not being able to appreciate good literature? <p> According to the National Assessment of Educational Progress, 77% of forth-graders in urban high-poverty schools are reading "below basic". <p> Since I am turning 18 this year, please help me by picking a project from the list below to support with an $18 donation (or any other amount). Thanks in advance for helping kids in real need--may it come back to you 10-fold! hide
