Alyssa Cares Foundation

Over the past week, we were provided with some testimonial letters from various grade-level teachers at one of our recipient schools. We would like to share these with you over the next couple of days to let you know the end value of your support. We couldn't do this without you!

Dear Alyssa Cares,
I wanted to thank you so much for everything you do for our students. I am a 5th grade teacher at Doull Elementary. The impact you have on my students is more than just books. What you have done is created a relationship for my students with literacy. My students have told me that they have been part of your visits since kindergarten. Some of them have said this is the part of the year they look forward to the most. And I can't tell you how many times my students asked me, "Is there going to be another Alyssa Cares day?". Because of Alyssa's love for reading, my students love reading. You have added to their enthusiasm for books and there is no greater accomplishment in this world. I can't begin to tell you the impact you have made, so I will simply say THANK YOU! Thank you SO MUCH for your kindness, your patience and most importantly, your passion for children. You have brought books to so many of my students who might have never experienced the smell and feel of a brand new book. We are all truly in you debt and honored to be a part of your mission.

Thank you for your selflesness and love. You are changing lives.

Last week at one of our school visits, we were able to capture an awesome moment where there was utter silence after a group of 4th graders chose their books. Not a word was being said as they sat down to read their new books. I am so thankful that two of my sisters who came out from Ohio to volunteer could witness this.
