Jesus Deleon fondly known as Mr. Jesse has been a cherished part of the Cambridge Elementary family for 25 years. Many students, families, teachers, and staff know him for his constant smile, kind heart, and the joy he brings to campus every single day. Recently, Mr. Jesse experienced a devastating house fire and lost everything. In an instant, his home and belongings were gone, leaving him facing the overwhelming task of starting over.

Despite living on the west side of town, Mr. Jesse has faithfully taken the bus for hours each day to get to and from Cambridge—simply because he loves this school, the staff, the community, and most importantly, the kids. His dedication and selflessness have never gone unnoticed, and now it’s our turn to support him.

This GoFundMe has been created to help Mr. Jesse cover immediate necessities such as clothing, food, temporary housing, and basic living expenses as he works to find a new place to call home. Every donation, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference during this incredibly difficult time. If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing this page and keeping Mr. Jesse and his family in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you for coming together to support someone who has given so much love and care to the Cambridge community over the years.

With gratitude and hope,
