Blended Love founder Monica Epperson and I had our weekly Blended Love meeting today, and she shared a story with me about the birth of our Library Resources program, in which we donate books to the school library and give a single book to every child.

Before Blended Love was born, Monica read her children’s book A Heart With Two Homes to all of the fifth grade students at Skelly Elementary, and then donated three divorce/fiction books to the school library. These books about divorce were checked out frequently, more than the other books — and then a student stole them. Then Monica replaced them, and the books were stolen AGAIN! These books were so helpful to the kids, and the kids wanted them so badly…that they stole them. :(

So Monica began donating a book to every child, and a preliminary version of our Library Resources program was born. Since then, Blended Love has donated over $7,000 in books to children, books about divorce and family changes. Click the link for more information about our programs.
