Funds For Ferguson

Many of you have heard about the unrest in Ferguson, but did you know that the public library stayed open during the turmoil to provide a safe place for children to go when their schools were closed?  They would like to continue that place of normalcy for the children of Ferguson by hiring a full-time children's librarian.  They are also expanding programs for the community as a whole.  In order to accomplish these goals, they are fundraising.

One thing that I love about the Teachers Pay Teachers Community is the sense of giving and support that is abundant everywhere!  That is why I was not surprised when a teacher from a nearby community and TpT seller, Rainah Pray from Fit for Firsties, put together a fundraising effort for this cause. That is also why I was happy to donate! You can read more about the fundraiser here. 

You can purchase any of the bundles here, and your purchase price will all be donated to the Ferguson Library.  The fundraiser goes until Jan. 31, 2015.






I donated a product to Bundle 2 which you can find here.

Bundle of Love Fundraiser for Teacher with Stage 4 Cancer

A few weeks ago, Amna from Teach Two Reach mentioned that one of her former colleagues had been recently given the devastating diagnosis of Stage 4 cancer.  I lost one of my closest friends to cancer almost 8 years ago to the day that she posted her news, and I knew I had to help donate to this cause.  We also lost both of my husband's parents to cancer, so I know exactly how devastating it can be both emotionally and financially.  I was not the only teacher to step forward - over 75 amazing generous teachers also donated to the cause.  Amna has painstakingly bundled all of these goodies into 6 bundles priced between $5 and $10.  All of the proceeds will benefit her friend and her family as they battle the biggest fight of their lives.
