Our Non Profit, Livonia town Hall, has supported Seedlings for many years. They are a wonderful resource for Braille books for children all over the country. Staffed by many volunteers, they work to turn countless children’s books into Braille so every child is exposed to excelllent literature! They are a unique, diverse, and well run organization!

I have been an avid reader since I was a child. Seedlings serves those children with impaired sight with wonderful books they have converted to Braille. Normally Braille books are expensive but Seedlings is here to make sure all sight impaired children have the same access to books as any child. Growing up as a reader expanded my world in so many ways and they make that possible for all children. They have an adopt a reader program that I can donate to to get a child several books to start their collection. Seedlings enter team are kind, caring people who put children first. I have toured their faces several times and they cannot be more dedicated to serving these wonderful children.

I love this foundation. What a wonderful way to share the joy of reading with blind children who would otherwise not be able to afford it.

I am a librarian at a school who was in search of non-contracted Braille books for a student. I was able to put in a request for a student to recieve two free braille (non-contracted) through Seedling's Book Angel Program. Non-contracted braille books are hard to find and I am thrilled that this student now has some books that he can read and call his own. These books mean so much to this student! I would highly recommend this organization. I am very appreciative of their services!
