Making a Difference: Roses Inc. and Taxi Ads Las Vegas
When we stop to consider all the disadvantaged people who share the Las Vegas Valley with us, it’s often easy to forget the younger members of the neighborhood in need. Thanks to local organizations Roses Inc. and Taxi Ads Las Vegas, a school full of underprivileged children received some wonderful gifts and found a new ray of hope this holiday season.
Christine Preus of Taxi Ads and her cousin Dan Lynch of Roses Inc. began with a simple mission: to help each child at Laura Dearing Elementary receive an age appropriate book for Christmas. Fifteen percent of the school’s students are homeless, moving from one temporary residence to the next to stay afloat, so just having a book to read means the world to them. Through generous donations from the community, the program was a rousing success, but Christine and Dan didn’t stop there. Using extra funds from the book drive, they brought in charity organization Goodie Two Shoes to pass out new socks and shoes to over 400 kids, including top brands such as Skechers and Converse.
Thanks to the kind hearts of area residents, the compassion of Goodie Two Shoes and the vision of Christine and Dan, some local children had a brighter holiday than usual, proving that even the smallest gift can make hundreds of young people excited and grateful to be alive.
