Dear Delaware Readiness Teams,

I am part of the statistic of women living in poverty. I have three children and struggle to put food on the table, keep the electric on, and help my children become ready for school.

​​But because of the readiness teams, I am also part of the statistic that has my daughter registered for kindergarten early, read to my children every night, and have my children screened and checked by a doctor on a regular schedule. What may have seemed like a simple task of putting a book in my hand and sharing the importance of reading has had a huge impact on my life and the way I interact with my children.

Every parent wants their child to succeed and thanks to you I am on the right path. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this precious gift you have given me.

Sincerely,

Marie
