Helping Hands Books is my hobby social venture dedicated to supporting community and youth development. It's often said that the future belongs to the young. Unfortunately, youth development programs and social service agencies that help young people seldom have sufficient funding.
By contributing a percentage of our sales to community and youth programs, we hope to assist as many young people as we can. We all know that it takes a village to raise a child, and by capitalizing on the value of used media, my family and I aim to do our part.

"In an educational system where many teachers simply go through the motions of teaching, Dr. Travis Ingersoll genuinely cares about both the subject matter of his class and his students.
He makes sure that we are prepared for the field that we are going to enter in a few short years by ensuring that we are fully informed about the issues we'll be facing. His compassion, quirky sense of humor, and personal anecdotes make the class fly by in a thoroughly enjoyable hour-long period."
