When you give a child a book, you open their world! LEX18 has teamed up with the Scripps Howard Fund for the annual "If You Give A Child A Book..." campaign. Over the last 3 weeks, our employees have raised over $4,600! Now, we turn to our viewers! Just $6 provides a book to a child here in Kentucky. Evelyn Schultz spoke with a local author about her love for reading and writing!

Back in May, I started editing a supercut of some of the nice work our staff does each week. This is NBC Olympics time so we had fewer newscasts, but here is this week's recap.

I’m so honored and grateful that Levi and Tiffany trusted me with their son’s story, and allowed me into their home to learn more about him. From the stories, he sounded like such a brilliant, compassionate and kind boy. Now, they are trying to fulfill one of his life goals: helping those in need. If you’d like to help the Bourget family with fulfilling Russ’ wish you can do so by donating to the AMEN House in Georgetown. https://lnkd.in/ejEY9EgD
