Who We Are 

We are two counselors at the Hebrew Educational Society and Community Center who've seen a need for the children at the program. They expressed an extreme need for an emotionally safe environment and a want to read more.  We really love the children and want to be able to provide an amazing environment for them. 


Why We Started This Dream Big Library Project

We have watched these children go through mental break downs and go through a series of tribulations with their lives outside of school and this community center.  These children should not experience adult issues and as counselors we are trying to provide them with a place to catch a breath of fresh air and have a clear mind.  We are providing them with an emotionally safe place to be, with people that genuinely care a great deal about them in all aspects of their lives. We are also trying to encourage the children to read and use their imaginations so they can truly realize they can be anything in the world! They will only learn about other opportunities through reading and experiences. 


What We Have Achieved So Far

 So far we have reached over 500 books from donations all over Brooklyn, New York. We are specifically working with some of the Brooklyn Library Branches to help us gather books.  The Public Schools in Brooklyn were also extremely generous to us as well.  We are still in the process of receiving more books. They have both been tremendously helpful and we couldn't of gotten this far without them.  We have also received a space in the community center for this amazingly cool library.

  

What You Would Help Us Achieve

We don't want this library to be just another library. We want it to be an amazing space themed library to remind the children that they can reach beyond the stars to achieve anything they want to achieve. We also want this space to be their safe haven for when they have those rough days.  Our Goal is to reach 3,500.00 in order to support the additional costs of building this library.  With this money we will:

  •  Furnish the library with book shelves, chairs, tables, and decorations. 
  • We can get the paint in order to make this mural. 

  •  We can get new books that are essential in the development of these children. 

The Impact

We are not professional teachers, or apart of any big organizations. We are just two partners who saw a need for the children of whom we care deeply about. We want to show them that there are people that care about them outside of their homes and with a strong community we can build a better future for them.  They will have an emotionally safe environment to release their stress before they go back into the world outside of this community center. This will also encourage them to read and push forward in all aspects of their lives.
