10% of Every Book Club Bundle Gives Back to the Community
"True inclusion isn't just about opening doors—it's about building a world where every single person is celebrated, supported, and given the platform to lead."
When you purchase a Book Club Bundle, 10% of your order goes directly to support organizations that are actively transforming lives in the community. Here is why these three non-profits are so deeply close to Michaela’s heart:
Why Michaela Is Involved: Serving as a Board Member for GiGi’s Playhouse is one of the greatest joys of Michaela’s life. She often describes GiGi’s as an extensive library of growth and opportunity—a place where individuals with Down syndrome, autism, and other special needs, along with their families, can check out an endless array of 100% free therapeutic, educational, and career development programs at no cost, from diagnosis through adulthood.
How They Rewrite the Narrative:
GiGi’s breaks down barriers by creating a culture of lifelong acceptance and empowerment. Whether supporting a newborn’s development, helping a child build literacy, or guiding an adult into meaningful employment, GiGi’s proves that every individual, regardless of diagnosis or age, is capable of achieving incredible goals when given the belief, community, and tools to thrive.
Why Michaela Is Involved: Michaela's connection to Movin' Out is deeply personal. Growing up, Movin' Out made it possible for her family to have a safe, secure home—a place where she and her brother could lay safely through complex medical needs, including feeding tube care and trach changes before her surgery to breathe on her own. Experiencing that level of stability firsthand showed her that housing is healthcare. Today, serving as a Board Member for Movin' Out allows Michaela to support the very organization that gave her family safety and peace of mind during their most critical moments.
How They Rewrite the Narrative:
Movin' Out shifts the conversation from passive care to true independence and dignity. By creating integrated housing solutions, homeownership opportunities, and accessible housing support for individuals and families living with disabilities, they prove that community inclusion and health begin with a safe place to call home. They give families the security and foundation required to live unconditionally confident lives.
Why Michaela Is Involved: Morgan’s Caring Connection is doing vital, heart-centered work by wrapping support around families navigating life with special needs dependents. Co-founded by Janis and Kelly Strutt in memory of their daughter, Morgan, this organization turns personal experience into profound community action through practical resources, educational empowerment, and direct grants from their Family Support Giving Fund.
How They Rewrite the Narrative:
True inclusion requires ensuring long-term financial stability, peace of mind, and generational security. Janis and Kelly rewrite the narrative by removing the financial barriers to complex legal and estate planning. By offering grants and connecting families with trusted legal and financial experts to establish Special Needs Trusts, estate plans, and guardianships, MCC protects family assets and safeguards vital government benefits. They ensure that every individual with a disability is set up for lifelong dignity, protection, and care—giving families true peace of mind for the future.
Every time a Book Club Bundle is purchased, 10% of the sale is divided equally to directly fund GiGi’s Playhouse, Movin’ Out, Inc., and Morgan’s Caring Connection. Together, book clubs aren't just reading stories—they are actively building community, protecting futures, and funding real, lasting change!
