a family asking for help

I read a post on our school internal this weekend. Several years ago, I had the joy of teaching an incredible boy named Efrain. He made SUCH progress in the year that I had him and I am always thrilled when he comes back to visit.

This is a kid who does the 5th grade dvd of memories for our entire elementary school each year, even now as nearly a high school student. he has never forgotten his elementary roots. So, it was with great sadness when i read that he reached out to our speech therapist this week with a phonecall telling her that they house had internally had a fire in it over the summer.

they lost about everything and mom also lost her job. they have nothing but the shell of the house and are still living in it.

it made me sad. it made me want to do SOMETHIGN anything for these people. It made me realize just HOW much we have in our lives that we take for granted each day............

I am going thru my closets, drawers, linen closets, toiletries and gift cards that I stash away for whenever.............
I am challenging each employee at my school to pitch in one dollar.....one dollar is nothing, yet if we all do it, we can help to feed this family for a week or more.

I challenge you all as well. Do something, anything, please to help someone that might be less fortunate than u r..........email me if you would like more info or simply put one dollar(or more) in an evelope and mail it to:

Efrain Rivera, 10117 Timber Oaks, Ct. Tampa, 33615

Thanks to all of the bloggers out there. Help with anything ..........
