    Maria Keller is from Minneapolis, Minnesota. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} she was 8 years old, she already loved reading. She noticed that some of her classmates didn't read as {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (most) as she did. When she asked her mother {#blank#}3{#/blank#} that could be, her mother said that they might not have enough money for books. Maria had never thought of this and decided {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (change) this.

    With her {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (mother) help, Maria created Read Indeed. Read Indeed collects and gives out books to kids in need for free.
