Your donations will help students come back to school with less stress and anxiety after a traumatic experience with TS Harvey. Our students have parents that live paycheck to paycheck and now with this horrific experience many families have lost their homes, food, cars, lost days of work, and income. Some of these parents have to worry about putting in work hours, finding a new vehicle, putting a roof over their heads, and food on the table. Some of our students that were ready to start school might have lost fresh school supplies, backpacks, shoes, and uniforms in the floods. I was personally a victim of floods as a middle schooler and it was devastating to see my parents go through the desperation of losing everything they had worked hard for. I watched my mother cry. I helped her and my father salvage furniture. My little sister and I spent an entire day at the laundromat with my mother as she washed our sheets, blankets, and clothes that had sulked in flood waters. This request for your aid is one that will help innocent children. As we rebuild as a city, let this be one less thing for our scholars to worry about.
