Urgent! We are students at Spring Valley High School, and we are raising money for Mr. Israel Ramirez. Mr. Ramirez is a dedicated, hardworking, first generation father of three, and beloved teacher and mentor at Spring Valley. Despite currently fighting a very aggressive, rare form of adrenal cancer, he continues to teach and to spread joy.  Mr. Ramirez is considered one of the most innovative and effective Math teachers in the city, and also works as a graduation advocate at our school. In this role, he mentors and supports students in need as they work to graduate from high school. It is not uncommon for Mr. Ramirez to  visit students and families in their homes in his relentless effort to see every student experience the success he himself has achieved. We want to be equally relentless in our support of Mr. Ramirez as he fights to beat this aggressive form of cancer. He beat it once before, and we are sure that with your support he can beat it again. All proceeds will go to his medical costs and to provide much needed support for his family as they join him in this fight. Even the smallest contribution will make a difference. Thank you.
