We have some exciting news to share with our Reading with Sola community. The Michelle Garcia Urene Dames Foundation has made a generous donation to our cause in celebration of Michelle Garcia Urene Dames’ retirement. But this is no ordinary retirement – Michelle has dedicated her career to fostering the love of reading as a librarian.
Instead of traditional retirement gifts, Michelle’s loved ones chose to honor her lifelong commitment to literacy by supporting our mission. Their thoughtful contributions reflect the same passion for education that Michelle brought to her library every day, and their generosity will allow us to distribute more books, expand our literacy programs, and reach more children in need.
This donation is a testament to the incredible impact that one person’s career can have on countless others. Michelle’s dedication to literacy has not only inspired those around her but also left a lasting legacy that will continue to make a difference even in her retirement.
We are immensely grateful to the Michelle Garcia Urene Dames Foundation and all the donors who chose to celebrate Michelle’s retirement in such a meaningful way. Their generosity not only supports our work but also sends a powerful message about the importance of literacy.
This retirement celebration has brought more than just funds to our organization. It has brought hope, inspiration, and the promise of a brighter future for the children we serve.
To Michelle and all the donors, we say thank you. Your retirement gift to Reading with Sola will make a lasting difference in the lives of many children. Here’s to celebrating more retirements together, and to the incredible power of literacy to change the world.
