Show Your Hearts for the Berry Family
Learning Express stores in Houston are showing our hearts today to raise money for the children of Robin and Joshua Berry. Both parents were tragically killed in an auto accident over the July 4th holiday weekend while driving through Fort Stockton, Texas, on their way back home from a family vacation in Colorado. The three children, Peter, 9, Aaron, 8, and Willa, 6, survived, however, both boys are being treated for multiple spinal injuries and Willa suffered a broken arm and ankle.Our family of stores located in Cypress, Katy, Pearland and Town and Country are all joining together today, August 11th, to raise money to help support the rehabilitation and growth of the Berry children. Twenty percent of the sales of all four Houston-area stores will be donated to the Joshua and Robin Berry Children's Trust.

While I did not know the family personally, I did have the pleasure to meet Joshua during the NCAA Final Four tournament this past year where we were both photo-runners for the Associated Press. Here is one of the pictures from the stadium after the final game.
