The Story

Our Lady of the Lake Catholic School in Lake Oswego, Oregon needed books for their library. We saw an opportunity to help fill that need.

We set a simple goal: $10 = 1 book. No overhead mystery. No vague promises. Just clear math and a 24-day deadline before Christmas.

In less than a month, 21 generous donors from our friends, family, and community raised $1,806. That's 180 new books now sitting on library shelves, ready for students who need them.

Every donor's name is on our public donor wall. Every dollar was accounted for in real-time. Photos of books arriving at school were shared with everyone who gave.
