Kerry and her son Cody celebrate at the
holiday party at Keshen Goodman Library
Since I have been attending the program, I have come a long way with my skills and learning to read and write better. I thank the staff of the program for all their hard work and time and especially the volunteers, who are really helpful.
Hopefully I will be able to get a great job and be able to read to my son Cody and help him in different activities. These are my goals and my ambitions and I am sticking to them.
No one should be embarrassed to receive help in learning to read and write. People are there to help because they care!

Few are so fortunate, for few hail from there— but I am one of the few.
