This week, our friend, teacher, and colleague, Meghan Blume, experienced the unthinkable. As she heals, we hope to lessen the financial burden that comes when the unplanned cost of healing sets in.

To know Blume is to know a giant. She fights fiercely for our kids, laughs loudly in the halls, and loves each of our students deeply. No one shines brighter. As someone who has worked alongside Ms. Blume for over a decade, I have witnessed her pour all she has into the cups around her, making sure that every staff member and student is seen on our campus.

Though she might not say it, now she needs us to do the same. Let's wrap her in the love and support she's provided so many of us over the years.

As a close friend and colleague of Meghan's at KIPP Academy Lynn Collegiate, I have organized this fundraiser to ensure Meghan receives 100% of funds directly to use toward her healing, and taking care of any financial burdens she shoulders. Meghan will be named as a beneficiary to this fundraiser and will receive all donations directly.
