Support for the Ritchies

Keary Ritchie is a public school teacher for St. Louis Public Schools who has dedicated her life to working with refugee students.  On Saturday, November 3, her home that was being  renovated caught fire and was destroyed.  While she and her five children were not currently living in the home, they did lose all of their furniture and possessions.  As a public school teacher supporting a large family, she is dealing with not only the grief and emotional loss of losing a home, but also the financial loss of losing years' worth of valuable items.  Keary has always put her students, family and community's needs before her own, and we are hoping to provide some support to her and her family as they head into the holiday season.
