Hello Friends! This Thanksgiving Jan and I are so thankful for Literacy NJ and all their amazing work. That’s why we’re so excited to be in the 5 Day Literacy Challenge 2021!
This is my 20th Anniversary of working with this organization I love so dearly. Jan and I both truly believe in the power of literacy to change lives.
So many stories inspired us this year, but I want to tell you about Richard. At age 27 he made the decision to earn his high school diploma and called Literacy NJ to sign up for classes. While many students were intimidated by online classes and discouraged by closing test centers, Richard persevered. Within 3 short months he was a high school graduate! “I am so thankful.” said Richard, “I’m in my 1st year of college now. I couldn’t have done it without all of you at Literacy NJ.”
