This is Luis
With help from our donors, his family found support after he and his twin sister experienced neglect and other traumas. Now, he’s a vibrant toddler who understands how to control his emotions and even helps his classmates use coping mechanisms when they are upset. Learn more about Luis’ story and consider supporting education programs like the one he benefitted from today.

#THATKINDOFTOWN
The idea of quality checking 550 literacy kits might not sound like a good time to you, but it sure did to these fabulous AirForce members! They made sure all materials were accounted for in reading bags that students who participate in Day of Action will receive, which include books, fun activities, a library calendar and more. Thank you so much to the 595th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron from Offutt Air Force Base!
