Chances are, as someone who is visiting this website, you also share our interest in good books. But who was the person who sparked that interest? Who was the one who really set you on the path to becoming a lifelong reader?
Think about that person. Then think about what would have happened if that interest was sparked, but you had no books to read. Would the interest have remained unfulfilled? Would it have diminished and possibly gone away?
Please become a 2012 My Very Own Book Sustaining Donor in honor of the person who helped you develop a love of reading...and we'll let them know of your donation (if you want us to - see giving benefits below). Donate $10, $20, or $50/month to help us provide new books to students in low-income neighborhoods so they too can be set on the path to becoming lifelong readers.
Click on the arrow to see the drop down menu, select the amount/month you want to give, and click the Subscribe button. Fill out the secure website form using a PayPal account/credit card*, and you are done for the year!
*If you do not have a PayPal account, when you enter your payment information you will be asked to create a PayPal ID and password. Accounts are free and do not require additional information. This is a way for PayPal to bill your credit/debit card of choice on a monthly basis in a secure way. We appreciate you taking the time to do this quick, initial set-up.
If you want to be a Sustaining Donor but do not want to create a PayPal account, e-mail Kelley Van Auken at kelley.vanauken@myveryownbook.org to sign-up, indicating how much you want to give each month for twelve months. She will send you a link each month to use to pay with a credit card. You will have to enter your credit card and donor information again each month, as the system will not retain it.
If you want to be a Sustaining Donor, but don't want to give on-line, you can mail a one-time check made out to My Very Own Book for the total twelve month amount to President Helen Van Auken, 1150 Scarlett Drive, Allen, TX 75002.
