If you're feeling generous... This puts shit into perspective. From my child's school listserv.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is a 5th-grade student in Montgomery County who is undergoing chemotherapy. At the beginning of April, after not feeling well for several days, her mother suddenly and unexpectedly died. The girl is living in an apartment with her aunt, uncle, and two cousins and all are grieving the loss of their family member. Due to COVID-19, the aunt and uncle are now unemployed, so there is no money coming in and food supply is running low. In addition, the family does not have a car, but does need to get the girl to the hospital for chemotherapy treatments.
The PTA, MCPS, and her Delegates & district council members are engaged to find resources for this family at this very difficult time. However, in the interim, emergency support is needed. We are trying to raise money to pay for their rent, utilities, and nutritious foods for the aunt, uncle, cousins, and young girl while the student is undergoing chemotherapy to alleviate some of the financial stress that they are currently experiencing.
