  • Face Masks Required in NYC

    Funded Sep 15, 2020

    As a teacher, it is a relief to know that I have all the supplies for students especially when they need t protect themselves from corona (and other) virus as they go about their day. At the start of the pandemic shutdown I was able to provide my students with masks to keep them and their family members safe. In addition through your generous compassion and shipment of donations we were able to have enough for the future and created a classroom care closet (drawers) for the unexpected days when they may need more than one or have to take some home.

    We feel blessed to have your support. Thank you.”
