Help US Taekwondo's Child Care Program Recover

Hi, my name is Michael. Nice to meet you! Here's my story.

I was interning at a Before & After School Taekwondo program during the end of Covid, around March of 2022. The Child Care Program was closed down due to poor management by the previous owner, with over 100 students enrolled in the program, that direly needed Child Care service.

I had to tell all the students to find other Child Care programs in a short period of time. I felt awful about the situation and assured every individual student that we would reopen and have them return. I convinced my Dad to move to Rhode Island with the family and to part ways with his very profitable business to come revive this Child Care Program this past September of last year. After investing all of my fathers proceeds from his previous business and dedicating much hard work, we were able to invite most of the students back.

Our Taekwondo Before & After School Program provides positive guidance to school aged children in the city of Providence, Rhode Island so parents can go to work, without having to worry about their children. We used the guidance of Taekwondo training to educate our children aspects of respect, honesty, humility, perseverance, and self-control, while most importantly showing them how to have fun in a supervised environment.

We were met with a flash flood on the night of September 11th, and lost everything from the storm; all of our school supplies, furniture, books, chairs, student documents- you name it- all sustained damage from 4 feet of flooding. My father is going back and forth with the insurance company at this time, with no progress.

We are asking for any donations. If you are situated within the New England area, we are willing to take donations of school supplies, books, furniture, passenger van vehicles, etc.

My Dad promised me he would do anything and everything to put this amazing facility back together, and I want to be able to help him with that goal. We are currently blessed to continue service for our students at a nearby elementary school. We will try our best to come back to our facility as fast as we can. 100% of the proceeds will used to purchase and rebuild US Taekwondo - Providence. Thank you :)
