Author Teams Up To Help Feed The Children

Author donates proceeds from sales of electronic book to Feed The Children's Child-A-Week program.

Merrill, WI (PRWEB) February 26, 2004--Author, Alyice Edrich, partners with Feed The Children Foundation to help families who struggle to make ends meet during the last week of the month. Edrich, who wrote a workbook to help parents get a handle on their finances, agrees to donate $5 from the sale of each Build Upon A Firm Foundation" electronic book sold through her online parenting publication, The Dabbling Mum (http://thedabblingmum.com), to Feed The Childrens Feed-A-Child Program.

One person can make a difference," explains Edrich. Often, we read about superstars like the Oak Ridge Boys or Kathy Ireland reaching out and making a difference through large contributions and think our small contributions wont matter, let alone make a difference. But the truth is that small contributions do matter. They add up."

Edrich grew up in Southern California where her single mother often went without eating so that she and her younger sister could have a nice dinner. I never knew my mom was sacrificing her meals for us," says Edrich. I just thought she was trying to lose weight. No parent should have to starve so that their children can eat and no child should have to go to bed hungry."

As a mother of two children, ages 9 and 13, and the wife of a full-time college student, Edrich understands the struggles of stretching a dollar and trying to put together a full meal during the last week of every month. Weve been fortunate," says Edrich. But there are many families out there that dont have anything left in the cupboards to make a meal with, let alone a side-dish. Its my hope that by offering some of the proceeds from the sale of my finance e-book to Feed The Children I will be educating parents who dont know about the program to either call for help or call to become a sponsor."
