Lost School to Eaton Fires and Need Help to Rebuild

Help me give my students hope. We lost our school to the Eaton Fires and need some resources like a couch, carpet, and other classroom items to rebuild our school. Many of our kids lost their home and school, and need some normalcy. Many thanks.

My Project

As mentioned in the title and project summary, we sadly lost our school in Altadena to the Eaton Fires. Many of our students lost their home and school during this tragedy. The same with some teachers. Nothing was saved, as our classrooms and the entire building they were in burned down. Please help me bring some normalcy back in these kids' lives. I've worked in education for years as a TA, interventionalist, etc. This was my first year as a teacher (to a first grade class). I, like many, lost my second home. In fact, a lot of the items inside were just donated by generous donors on this website. Our students need school now more then ever and we teachers need resources to help them. We are ready with open arms to rebuild our community. We do need some resources to help us get back on our feet and meet our students' needs. Even a small amount helps. Thank you so much for your consideration. The love and support Altadena and Pasadena has received during this tremendously difficult time is amazing.
