We're thrilled to be participating in Literacy NJ’s 3-Day Challenge, a fundraiser supporting Literacy New Jersey, Inc.! This year, our campaign is more important than ever as federal funding for adult education (WIOA Title II) — our primary source of support — is at serious risk.
We're passionate about this cause because we’ve seen firsthand how life-changing free literacy and ESL classes can be for adults working to build better lives for themselves and their families.
This is what one of our ESL students said: "My name is M., and I am from Peru. When I came to the US 2 years ago, I didn’t speak English and had nothing. Now, I work full-time in the dietary department at the rehabilitation center, have obtained a driver's license, bought a car, and rented a room by myself. I am alone here, and this isn't easy, but thanks to my teachers, Ms. Susan, Ms. Jane, and Ms. Karen, and my classmates, I feel good. Thank you for their patience and kindness."
Here’s how you can help:
Donate – Every gift, big or small, brings us closer to our fundraising goal and directly supports students in our community.
Spread the Word – Share our page with friends and family and on social media. The more people who know, the more impact we can make!
Thank you for standing with us. Your support truly means the world!
Remember: No donation is too small; every $ is counted!
