During COVID-19, many parents are out of work and families have gone hungry. The crisis continues, and low-income families are hit hardest. Harlem children are struggling without the resources they need to succeed.  In times like these, all of us who can must step up and help.

I’ve joined the Board of Friends of Public School Harlem to help children who are struggling much like I was at their age. We provide backpacks, school supplies, laptops, meals, groceries, masks, and more to let these kids know they are not alone. This fall, we’ve already helped more than 5,000 families – but we need to do more.

I ask you to join me, if you can afford to, and rush a donation to help support this initiative right now.  If you give $10 it helps get supplies to 2 children. If you give $100 we can reach 20 more kids. Because our board pays for all administrative costs, 100% of the money you give goes directly to the purchasing of educational resources for students and public schools in Harlem.

With Covid-19 forcing the cancelation of in-person fundraising, we badly need additional support. Harlem needs your help. Thank you.
