Thank you from DaVita Dialysis

We recently posted an article requesting book donations for the library at DaVita Dialysis and our subscribers went ABOVE and BEYOND! Please read below:

I cannot even begin to express my gratitude to the Knoxville Community for their generosity in book donations. We had so many books donated that we were able to build libraries not only at Campbell Station, but also Knoxville East, Blount and Clinch River DaVita locations! The patient’s joy and excitement of seeing the books come in has been such a blessing. Thank you to everyone who donated books and magazines. Your kindness has touched so many. -Ashley Roche, Davita Dialysis
