Mission Statement
Our mission is simple and urgent: to foster the love of reading and joy of book ownership among New York City’s poorest children. It begins with a simple invitation: "Come with us on a class shopping trip to an exciting book store, browse through the wonderful selection of children’s books, and My Own Book will give you $60 to buy books and start your own library at home."
Description
My Own Book Fund began with one man wanting to do something meaningful in his retirement. Looking to share his love of reading, he contacted a school and asked if he could take their 3rd graders to a bookstore and let each child pick out books to start their own home library. Primarily through word of mouth, this one man, one school operation grew into a non-profit that serves over 40 schools throughout the five boroughs. We have more schools asking to join the program than we can handle with our current volunteer base and so are expanding our search efforts. It is the perfect opportunity for those who love kids, love reading and can spare roughly three hours a day for six days over a two month period.

HOW I GOT MY $185,000 BACK FROM A CRYPTO SCAMMER ON FACEBOOK 2024
I lost about $185,000.00 USD to a fake cryptocurrency trading platform a few weeks back after I got lured into the trading platform with the intent of earning a 15% profit daily trading on the platform. It was a hell of a time for me as I could hardly pay my bills and got me ruined financially. I had to confide in a close friend of mine who then introduced me to this crypto recovery team with the best recovery jetwebhackers i contacted them and they were able to completely recover my stolen digital assets with ease. Their service was superb, and my problems were solved in swift action, It only took them 48 hours to investigate and track down those scammers and my funds were returned to me. I strongly recommend this team to anyone going through a similar situation with their investment or fund theft to look up this team for the best appropriate solution to avoid losing huge funds to these scammers...

It was a pleasure to work with My Own Book. The kids were very excited while choosing their books at Barnes & Noble, and I loved to capture it - such a great experience.
