Hoover Family Recovery Fund

Donation protected
In the early morning of Monday, March 27th, a four-alarm fire tragically broke out at the home of two Hoover families in West Oakland. By the grace of God, all of our families got out in time and are safe and sound.

As you can imagine, they have unfortunately lost everything except for the clothes on their back. They are receiving basic supplies, clothes donations, and support through the community and the American Red Cross; however, they are in dire need of housing and must now replace all of their possessions. 

Our hope is that the community can come together to raise enough money to support the families during this incredibly challenging time. We would like to provide them with financial support so they can make ends meet. For example; first and last months rent for each family and a few extra dollars to pay for any necessities (housewares, toiletries, furniture, phones, and even money to renew their personal identification, many did not have enough time to grab their purses).

We are aiming at $10,000 per family. We hope you can join in supporting their cause and ensuring that our students can continue to attend school and thrive.
