Her biggest concern when she contacted Reason to Give was helping her older daughters learn to read.<br /><br />Humboldt Park has always been home to Margarita. But she doesn&rsquo;t want the boundaries of a neighborhood to define her children&rsquo;s futures. She knows education is the best way out of socio-economic hardship.<br /><br />Margarita wants education to be the path her children take for greater opportunities. That&rsquo;s why building a strong reading foundation for her daughters is such a priority and her main focus. Ideally, she&rsquo;d like assistance putting them through the Sylvan Learning program but would gladly accept a computer and educational software.</p> image/jpeg MartinezMargarita_Thumb_original.jpg 247264 2008-11-19T18:49:12Z 23 2 <p>Margarita is concerned her eldest daughters have fallen dangerously behind in their reading level. To get them back on track, she wants help from outside the public school system.</p> 3 2010-02-15T21:10:00Z video/quicktime 08RTG_MartinezMargarita.mov 34371280 2008-11-14T23:25:36Z
