“My corporate life had taken its toll. I’ll spare you the details, but I found myself curled up in the fetal position in a hotel room in New York City. I called my wife and said ‘I can’t do this anymore!’
“By coincidence I had previously committed to going on a volunteer trip to Honduras in a few weeks’ time. Our project involved helping to build a library in the middle of the Honduran jungle. That’s what got the wheels turning in my mind.”
>>>So, Brad, how does GoneReading work?
“GoneReading is a lifestyle brand of merchandise and gifts for book lovers like you and me. Our current offering consists of original designs, each coupled with a slogan to pique the interest of readers…Everything is available for purchase at the GoneReading Store.
“We’re donating 100% of the company profits in perpetuity to fund new libraries in the developing world. We actually wrote that into our corporate charter.”
There are around a billion fellow humans who don’t read because they can’t get books…
Folks like Brad are doing something about it and helping folks like me and you do something, too…
Here are just a few of the categories of gifts for readers you can buy and have your purchase help Brad help others build libraries:
And, there are 19 more categories of gifts at the GoneReading Store:-)
Plus, on their FAQ page, you’ll find this Mission Statement:
“We envision a world where everyone has the opportunity to better themselves through the open pursuit of the dreams and ideals of their choosing. We envision a world where such opportunity exists for everyone, regardless of their country of origin or locale. Our mission is to bring the world closer to this vision by helping to ensure that everyone has open access to the reading materials they want and need. We accomplish this mission by providing new funds for reading-related charities that focus their work across the developing world.”
And, here’s a very excited Karen Blue reviewing a few things from GoneReading:-) As you watch, don’t forget this quote from Brad:
“We’re donating 100% of the company profits in perpetuity to fund new libraries in the developing world.”
