Only 1 more week to collect books! We will be delivering next Monday, December 3rd on Jalen's Birthday.

Jalen and Jaz in their Christmas pjs.

Respite Care Centers will receive books!

We will be donating all gently used books to the St. Louis Arc and St. Charles Community Living Respite Care Centers!! Jalen received services through Community Living and it was a HUGE help to us as parents. Because of Jalen's fragile medical condition and his cognitive disability they provided us with respite care providers from time to time. It was a huge help to have someone come and help care for him for a few hours so we were able to run errands, get housework done and a few times even got to go to dinner. When you have a child that requires around the clock care it can be exhausting and so receiving services through organizations like St. Louis Arc and Community Living are a wonderful, much needed help! With that being said, I would give anything to be completely exhausted again and care for my Jalen everyday.  

 

Jalen's Book Drive is doing GREAT! We could use your help in labeling, wrapping and boxing all of the books. I'm going to hold a community service "open house" on the dates below. If you're available to help either day for any amount of time that would be awesome! I'll have plenty of food and drinks for everyonell! Kids are welcome to come help too!

Saturday, December 1st from 10AM until 5PM

Sunday, December 2nd from noon until 5PM

Please comment or message me to let me know if you think you can make it!

 

December 3rd is Jalen's Birthday and that's when we will be delivering all of the books!
