A child's life is like a piece of paper
               on which every passerby leaves a mark.

Recipients

We seek out schools in need -- those whose kids' reading performances are being affected by their family's economic challenges.

Our School Programs
The elementary school program consists of three visits during the school year where each time each child is provided a brand new reading book to start their own personal library at home. The hope being -- a small gift of a reading book begins the journey of a life-long passion for reading, which in turn leads to better life opportunities.

Multiple visits create enthusiasm and engagement for the school, the children, and the Alyssa Cares Foundation.
