Today I was so happy to deliver #stories to kids who need them the very most, those who are unhoused. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to share #books with the children at Mustard Seed School @VILoavesFishes so kids can have the comfort of #kidlit & #mglit stories during the holiday season. Thank you to everyone who’s #given to my #gofundme & #donated books to my #bookdrive. I also want to thank @BookBess for providing so many reads for me to share! These books are going to students in transitional housing & unhoused families. If you’d like to help me share more books, please donate to my GoFundMe or DM me to send books.
Spreading #kindness has never felt so good & important. Working to #endbookdeserts is a top priority of E Train Talks Inc. I am so grateful!

CITGO is fueling good for those experiencing food insecurity & hunger w/a $15,000 donation to the @HoustonFoodBank! TeamCITGO volunteers were at the food bank on #GivingTuesday to present the donation & sort nearly 25 pallets of food for SE Texas communities. #FoodForBetterLives
