Hi. I am Melissa Fuoss. I have been a teacher for 24 years, and have spent the last 16 years in the Maplewood Richmond Heights School District. Last week, two of the custodians from our Early Childhood Center were separated by ICE at their most recent legally required immigration check-in. We are reaching out to our incredible community to help raise money for Alba, Boanerges, and their daughter who just finished 2nd grade at the ECC. Every penny donated will go to this family for rent, utilities, basic needs, and legal fees.
