Last week, our dear friend and colleague, Dr. Ogechi Hermann, experienced the unexpected and heartbreaking loss of her husband. During this unimaginable time, we want to surround Ogechi and her two children with the same care, compassion, and support that she has so generously given to others. Ogechi is an integral and deeply valued member of our Aldine ARD Facilitator family. Those who have had the privilege of working alongside her know the dedication, kindness, and heart she brings to her students, families, colleagues, and community. As Ogechi and her children navigate the days and weeks ahead, we are organizing this meal train as one small way to lighten their load. Providing a meal, sending a gift card, or contributing in whatever way you are able can help ensure that, amid their grief, one less everyday responsibility is resting on their shoulders. More than anything, we want Ogechi and her children to know that they are not walking through this alone. They are surrounded by a community that loves them, is thinking of them, and is here to support them through the difficult days ahead. Thank you for helping us wrap this family in love and care. ❤️
We know this is an incredibly overwhelming time for Dr. Hermann and her family. Please feel free to leave a message of love, encouragement, or support for her to read whenever she feels ready. There is absolutely no expectation to respond—these messages are simply a way to remind her that she and her children are surrounded by so much love and support. ❤️
