About Us
Our Mission
We believe that the future of our country lies in the hands of the youth. It is important that each child has the best opportunities available to him/her during their years of education. Each classroom should be equipped with the necessary supplies to educate, as well as the extras to keep the students motivated and excited about learning. In these times of economic hardship, some families find it impossible to finance the cost of such supplies. This means the students sometimes go without proper tools for learning. Teachers often try to personally supplement their classrooms with these supplies. Our teachers should not have to bear this extra expense. We feel that there are many generous people and businesses who would help these teachers if they knew where and how to reach them. Learning Lifeline chooses to be that link between the teacher who needs the supplies and the generous contributors who want to help students get the best education possible.
How we started?
Every year we watched as children went back to school. We heard each year how parents were struggling to buy the school supplies required. We agreed that public education was certainly not free. We heard that teachers were personally paying for basic supplies so they could teach their classrooms. One such teacher was one of my own daughters.
One night as two of my daughters and I discussed their sister's classroom, we came up with an answer. We would help supply her classroom. We were excited at the idea. Later that evening, Fairon got on the internet with a group from around the United States. Before she signed off that evening she had people wanting to help her sister's class and even ordering supplies to be sent. By the next morning, this mother and daughters group knew we had found a need we couldn't turn our back on.
The Learning Lifeline was born!
We knew if the teachers we knew needed help, there must be others. We could be the link between teachers that needed help getting supplies and the generous people that wanted to help. When the first boxes of supplies arrived, we quickly shipped them to "our" teacher. When she received the package with basics like pencils and erasers and extras like construction paper and stickers, she was overwhelmed! And we were HOOKED!
We hope all that can help will, and all that need help, receive it!
Now that we officially have Non-Profit status we hope to spread the word far and wide!
