“The toys and books weren't just toys and books, they were outlets for us, to believe that for that one hour of the day we could escape our sadness and focus on learning how to believe in ourselves just the same as you believe in our children, to believe in a whole new world of reading and exploring. Your program shows us how to show the children something we forgot we had ourselves - believing in the joy of hope."
