**Update 2: I've surpassed my stretch goal of $444 and am now working towards my STRETCH stretch goal of $777! Let's do this!!**
On May 24th I hosted a Donate What You Can Yoga Class in support of this fundraiser and raised over $450!
It is my hope that this class can continue to help raise money for this very important cause. I will share the link to the recorded yoga class on a "donate what you can" basis to anyone who donates through my fundraising page.
Thank you for your kindness in helping me reach my goal! Together, we can make a difference.
Description
Together, we can make a difference for students across TVDSB! Join us in supporting the Thames Valley Education Foundation and donate in support of the Caring Fund!
Imagine it being the middle of winter and not being able to afford a winter coat or boots.
Imagine staying home from school, because your clothes are old, dirty and worn and you don't feel like you belong.
Imagine worrying about when your next meal might be and if people know how hungry you are. Imagine having to choose between school and work, just to pay the bills.
Imagine how it would feel being told that you were going to get that winter coat and boots for free.
Imagine how it would feel knowing you could go to school again, having new, clean clothes.
Imagine how it would feel receiving gift cards for food, knowing you can eat again. Imagine being able to focus on your education, without having to worry about bills.
That's how the Caring Fund helps students across TVDSB. The Caring Fund supports students in emergency financial need with items such as food, clothing, transportation and temporary shelter, to ensure that they can continue to attend school and learn, even during a crisis.
The Caring Fund helps to reduce poverty-related stigma, strengthen the bond between school communities and at-risk youth, and provide immediate support (usually within 48 hours), while other community support systems (that require more paperwork and planning) are put into place.
This year, Thames Valley Education Foundation is organizing a 5K Your Way challenge where participants can complete 5K doing any activity they see fit! Please, join me and donate in support of my 5K for the Caring Fund. I will be sure to let you know how I complete my 5K!
Let's show them that together, we care. Together, we can make a difference.
