Clean Air for Kumon of Pacific Palisades
Donation protected
My name is Patricia Cosentino, and I'm the owner and instructor at Kumon Math and Reading Center of Pacific Palisades. I've had the pleasure of being in business just over 5 years and have taught hundreds of students in my town. This job is one of my greatest joys and working with children is my heart's passion.
On March 19th, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, I held my last class at the center, and for the last four months I've been able to operate my center remotely. I've lost dozens of clients, like most small businesses, as my families have had to deal with homeschooling stresses and their own financial struggles related to the virus. I am finally reopening my doors on July 16, for classes to be held again in person at my center.
I'm so happy to be able to see the faces of my students again but also extremely nervous about exposing myself, my staff and my students to potential sickness. As a single mother who runs a business completely on her own, I have to be extremely careful with my health. I also want to protect my staff and my clients in the most effective way possible. I have bought masks, face shields, Plexiglas dividers, sanitizing spray, gloves and thermometers - but I am still nervous about the overall air quality in the room I will be sharing with my students.
I've done a lot of research on companies who can help create and maintain clean work spaces, and I want to invest in a UV air purification system that will continuously clean the air in my center and kill any virus that happens to be circulating in our air. The company is called Synergistic Sanitizing Solutions (https://www.synergisticsanitizingsolutions.com/). I will need to purchase several units in order to cover the square footage and ensure that the center's air is completely treated. Each unit costs $1500, shipping costs will be roughly $200 and then an electrician will need to be paid to properly install . The money that is donated will go into paying for this system, and will help ensure that my classroom environment is virus free for years to come.
It is difficult for me to ask for help, but I'm hoping you will consider helping me to create a safe environment so that Kumon Math and reading Center of Pacific Palisades can keep running as safely as possible.
