September is , a perfect time to create a Seizure Action Plan. 💜 It helps others respond safely at school, work, or home and could save a life. Learn more about a SAP from the Seizure Action Plan Coalition https://seizureactionplans.org/seizure-action-plans/

💜 Thank You for Your Support! 💜

We’ve been a little quiet, but only because we’ve been busy making big plans for this fall and holiday season:
📚 8 new Little Free Libraries just arrived and are ready to be placed across our communities. A big thank you from our friends at TGC Group.
💜 With a kind and generous donation from local Walmart & our friends from The Cure for Camden we are working on an awareness, and education progam for the community.
✨ And there’s still more to come…

None of this would be possible without your love, encouragement, and support. Together, we are continuing to build something beautiful in Kayven’s honor.

👉 Here’s a recap of our journey so far and what we’re building for Kayven: https://www.yahoo.com/news/kayven-helping-hands-aims-more-171127142.html

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for walking this journey with us. Together, we are making adventures possible for all.

While the concept of a little free library is nothing new, the story behind nearly a dozen in Wichita is special.
