Hi, Ed, it’s getting close to back-to-school time and there are lots of kids and families who don’t have the money for uniforms or basic school supplies. If your readers can donate notebooks or school supplies to Womanspace or Tender Hearts or other organizations willing to accept such donations, or to the school systems who may have a list of kids in need, it would make a difference and perhaps start a bookbag drive. It’s embarrassing for these kids to start school without these items. School is hard enough, and our kids are our most important commodity.

School Helper

This is such a worthy cause, and it’s so easy to help. If you’re shopping for your own kids and have the extra cash, pick up two of everything and give some kid a chance to succeed.—Ed. Note
