Dear Friends, Our beloved friend, colleague, and dedicated educator, Stacia Grooms recently suffered a severe stroke. She is currently in the ICU fighting with everything she has. While she is a warrior, she has a very long, challenging road of recovery ahead of her. As many of you know, Stacia is the fierce, loving sole provider for her three beautiful children. She has dedicated her life to educating and lifting up the children in our community—now, it is our turn to lift up hers. Because she will be out of work for the foreseeable future, her family is facing an immediate financial crisis. We want to ensure that her only focus is healing, not how she will cover rent, utilities, and everyday living expenses for her kids. How you can help right now??? Monetary Donations: Any financial contribution here will go directly toward her basic living expenses and bills. Gift Cards: We are collecting grocery stores and restaurant/meal gift cards (e.g., Walmart, Food Lion, DoorDash) to keep the kids fed and take the burden off her care team. Share: Please share this page with your networks. Stacia has given so much to our community . Let’s surround her and her children with the financial peace of mind they need to get through this storm. Thank you for your generosity, prayers, and love.
