Monica Ruiz Instagram – Right now, kids are out of school and expected to keep up, some on their own, at home. A great majority of those kids are living with far less than others. Some of them will have to take on more work than ever. Cooking, cleaning and taking care of siblings because their parents will still need to go to work. These kids not only have more responsibilities at home, many don’t have access to the tools they need to keep up their education. They are expected to keep up with classmates by finding time, privacy, a computer and WiFi to attend classes online. I can not imagine how that’s going to feel for some kids to go back to school, feeling completely behind their peers if they aren’t able to participate in the remote classes being offered. I get it. Right now no one in my home is working or is in a position to donate much at all. Our jobs, like millions of others are completely on hold but I’ve been here before and I know it gets better. These kids need our support. Even if you have a couple dollars to contribute, if enough of us are able to help with a small amount, we could raise what they need. They simply need the chance to join their classes, to stay caught up and when they finally return to school, they will know that the kindness of others, helped support their futures. Some families in our communities might never come back from this. We need to remember and acknowledge them. We are all in this together. When I think of these kids I am reminded of where I came from and how lucky my family was to have assistance. My friend @billheuisler is an amazing public school teacher and is reaching out for support for his and many other students in LA. click the link in my bio if you can help! Even a dollar adds to their goal. I know most of us can’t and that’s okay. If you’re struggling, I see you and hope for everyone we all come out of this stronger and even more connected. For some it will take much longer if at all to recover from this so let’s be extra nice to each other. Thank you! #inthistogether #momcutmyhair #stayhome #supportkids | Posted on 28/Mar/2020 04:27:21
