For years, the hallways have been brightened by the presence of Alverine Beharie. As a dedicated ancillary worker, Alverine hasn't just kept the school running — she has been a guardian, a friendly face and a source of kindness for countless students. Her bond with the children is special; she treats every student with the care and warmth she gives her own family.

Now, Alverine is facing the toughest battle of her life. She was recently diagnosed with Stage 2 Breast Cancer and as she prepares to fight this disease, she needs the community that she has served so faithfully to rally behind her.

Alverine is a hardworking mother of two young boys who depend on her. Between the physical toll of treatment and the mounting costs of medical care, the road ahead is daunting. We are raising funds to ensure Alverine can focus entirely on her recovery and her children without the crushing weight of financial stress.

Alverine has spent years looking after our children; now it is our turn to look after her. No contribution is too small, and every dollar brings Alverine one step closer to health and home.

"Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see." — Let's show Alverine the same kindness she has shown us.
