Support Families in Need at PS 24 and MS 136/Charles Dewey

June 9, 2020 By Deb Orr

Dear PS 321 Families: Two of our sister schools in District 15 are in dire need of help for their families, and their PTAs have reached out to us and others in the district for support. You can view their GoFundMe pages below. Several other D15 schools also have active GoFundMe’s to assist their families in need. They are posted under the search category “Ways to Help.” 

GoFundMe – PS 24 in Sunset Park Needs Our Help!
From their GoFundMe page: As our city begins to take small steps toward reopening businesses, our community here in Sunset Park continues to face the daily reminders of loss of work, illness, and loss of life.  Our vibrant community has been left vulnerable to food insecurity, unemployment and lack of financial stability causing our families to plunge further into poverty. Your contribution however big or small will put food on the table of a family in our school. It will help pay for essential monthly expenses that are hanging over our families’ heads causing strain and fear of displacement. Go HERE to read more and donate.

MS 136 Relief Fund
The MS 136/Charles O. Dewey school community has created a GoFundMe page to support their families in need. From their page: Our amazing, strong, and vibrant MS 136 community has been hit hard by the Covid-19 Pandemic. Some of our families have lost loved ones. They and many others have also suffered job loss, or have fallen victim to this virus themselves. Our Title I school is home to a hard-working community –who even in the best of times may live paycheck to paycheck—and today those families are struggling to meet basic needs. Read more and donate HERE.
