Honor Mr. Miguel's Legacy: Support His Family

Donation protected
Mr. Miguel immigrated to the United States as an adult taking on various odd jobs, such as bussing tables and washing dishes in restaurants, to support himself while pursuing higher education. Despite these challenges, he worked hard and earned a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering. After years of working in the field, he decided to become a math teacher, driven by a desire to give back to his community. He successfully completed two years as an Algebra I and Geometry teacher at Roybal Learning Center, an inner-city school in Los Angeles, where he made an everlasting impact on anyone who came to know him. Tragically, due to a sudden and unexpected medical complication, he passed away during his third year of teaching. Mr. Miguel was well known for being a kind and compassionate teacher who always shared a smile with anyone he’d see.
Please consider sharing any donation here to help his family during this incredibly difficult time.
