"Why I Give..." by Daniel Lieberman

Becoming a father has made me think about a lot of things that never crossed my mind before. I never thought I would make up a song called “Put Your Jammies On” and my daughter would learn to sing it nightly with gusto. I also never gave much thought to how important early childhood education is in shaping who we become. 

Every day I’m amazed and amused by my three-year-old daughter, Paloma. She’s learning so much and growing so fast. And I know the same will be true of my son (we’re expecting in January). It reminds me that as grown-ups, we owe every child the opportunity to fully develop their own spirit and talents. 

My family and I are very fortunate. Our daughter is able to attend a wonderful preschool with teachers and programs that I greatly admire. At the same time, I’m keenly aware that not every family has the same opportunities as mine. For families struggling to afford food and shelter, preschool can be out of reach.

That’s why I support Foundation for Early Learning. I know that my donations are helping families in need prepare their children for school. Our kids and our grandkids will grow-up to create a better society because of the education we provide them. It’s the bedrock of a hopeful future for all of us.

That’s why I give. I hope you will too.
