FROM MOLLY E.:
Dear Kathy and Tanya,
On Saturday, February 14, we delivered children's and young adult books to the Foster Care Support Foundation, Inc. in Roswell. They were very pleased to receive the books - especially those for teens! All donations to the center are given at no charge to Foster care children and families. The Foundation is not government funded and relies solely on private donations to support foster children Statewide. They collect clothes, toys, books, cribs, carseats, high chairs and strollers. Their brochure states: "We are here to change the face of the forgotten child." Posters were on the walls with a picture of a child and the words, "I am not invisible." We hope we helped make a difference for these children by delivering quality books for them to keep and enjoy. We delivered 154 young adult/classics books and 141 children's books for a total of 296. Cheryl Tyvoll, a volunteer at the center, received us and thanked Bookaneers on behalf of the program's founder, Rachel Ewald.
Please see attached photos of myself, Justin and Rachel Engle from Bookaneers making the delivery. My younger brother David, age 8, also helped! He especially liked playing with one of the foster babies visiting while we were there.
