<div>Hello Family and Friends,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We hope this email finds you well. Myself, Dena Dragoo-Amadori, and the staff at Wilson Elementary in San Gabriel California, are dear friends and colleagues of Mr. Polifroni. We are writing to share some heartbreaking news about Mr. Polifroni.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Mr. Polifroni has been a dedicated and inspiring teacher who has shaped the lives of countless students during his 30+ years of service at Wilson Elementary School in San Gabriel California.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>His wife, Toni Boucher has been the Director of Altadena Children's Center for 30+ years and has devoted her time to the development of young minds and caring for the wellness of the Altadena families and surrounding communities. Tragically, he and his wife have suffered a devastating loss.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As a community, we now have an opportunity to come together and support them, as they have given so much to us. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To help Mr. Polifroni and his wife, Toni Boucher, any funds received will assist with needs that might not be fully covered by other sources of aid.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your help will also allow them to address the many aspects of recovery and support their family through this crisis.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In addition, funds will be used to help support their neighbors who have also been affected by the Eaton Canyon Wildfires. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A checking account at First Financial Credit Union in Pasadena has been established to account for all donations.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing the GoFundMe page with your friends, family, and community networks to spread the word.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Together, we can show Mr. Polifroni and Toni the same compassion and generosity they have shown to so many over the years.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for your kindness and support! And remember our school slogan, "Once a Wildcat, Always a Wildcat."
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you in Advance, 
</div>
<div><br />
