One Young Woman Took Action. Will You?

When Abbie Theobald set out to build her Free Little Libraries, she didn’t wait for someone else to step in—she saw a need and chose to be part of the solution.

Because of her, children and families in our community now have greater access to books. Because of her, a child who may be struggling—just like she once did—might discover confidence, imagination, and a love of reading.

That’s the power of one person choosing to act.

At RISE Augusta, we see that same opportunity every day. We see the children who need books. The students who need extra support. The families who are doing their best but need a little help to ensure their child can succeed.

And just like Abbie, we can’t do it alone.

Our programs are sustained by individuals right here in our community—people who believe that every child deserves the chance to read, learn, and thrive. But the need is growing, and the demand for our services continues to increase.

This is your moment to be part of the solution.

Your gift today will:

• Keep our Little Libraries stocked and accessible 

• Provide critical literacy tutoring to struggling readers 

• Support children with the basic needs that allow them to focus and succeed 

Every dollar you give stays right here—impacting children in Augusta and the surrounding communities.

Abbie made a difference with her hands, her time, and her heart.

You can make a difference today with your contribution.
