Fundraising: Seedlings Braille Books for Children

$615 raised from 1 cause

Donations go to:

Seedlings Braille Books for Children (a 501(c)(3) nonprofit)

Seedlings Braille Books for Children was founded in 1984 by Debra Bonde because braille materials for children were scarce and expensive. Her goals were to increase the availability and lower the cost of braille books for children in order to promote their literacy skills and the love of reading. Seedlings' ongoing goal is to increase the rate of braille literacy by ensuring blind children access to many of the the same books that their sighted peers enjoy. By making popular children's books available and affordable in braille, Seedlings offers visually impaired children equal opportunity to develop their literacy skills, and the tools to become lifelong readers and literate adults.

Out of every organization and activity Jay has been involved in since he was born and we knew he could not see, Seedlings has made the biggest difference in his life! He has been reading Seedlings books since he was a baby - almost 13 years now! We appreciate everything Deb and Seedlings does every day - keep it up!

I am humbled and happy to see all the support for braille literacy that has been shown here on the Seedlings cause page. We now have 2500 members ... just in time for Seedlings' 25th Anniversary! Many, many thanks to all of you! Let's get more books into the hands of children who read by touch! They should have equal access to the power of the written word!

My father is no longer with us, but I would like to pay tribute to him today for his help in getting Seedlings started 25 years ago. He not only built my first braille embosser, he also made a generous donation that enabled me to buy a binding machine and some combs and covers so I could start printing and binding our braille books! Many thanks, Dad! There are lots of kids reading because of you!

Seedlings hosted its 25th anniversary open house yesterday evening, and a great time was had by all. For myself, I finally, after several years of association with Seedlings, got to meet one of its Braillo braille embossers up close. There were lots of Seedlings books on display, cool hands-on braille projects, lots of memorabilia from the past 25 years ... Almost forgot to mention the good food. The visitors were really nice and enthusiastic people. I think the event launched Seedlings on another great quarter century. Congrats to all involved!
