<div>If your child has ever had a teacher who truly changed their life, then you understand what we are trying to protect.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Srta. Cindy Duran is one of those rare educators.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As a parent of two children at Collinswood Language Academy, I have seen firsthand the extraordinary impact she has—not only on academic growth, but on confidence, character, and a genuine love of learning. My children didn’t just learn Spanish in her classroom—they felt seen, supported, and inspired every single day.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>When my son entered first grade, he was struggling and falling behind in Spanish. Srta. Duran met him with patience, encouragement, and an unwavering belief in his ability to succeed. She gave her own time—after school and during breaks—to help him. And somehow, he looked forward to it.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>When his behavior shifted mid-year, she didn’t wait—she reached out immediately, not out of obligation, but out of genuine care. Because of her attentiveness, we were able to support him early. Weeks later, she followed up again, celebrating his progress alongside us.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Today, he is thriving. He has not only caught up—he has exceeded grade level. She recognized his strengths and challenged him with advanced work. Most importantly, he now takes pride in learning and wants to succeed.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Her impact doesn’t stop in the classroom. On a recent trip to Mexico, my son confidently spoke Spanish—ordering food, connecting with other children, and even helping another child feel included in a game. That moment was powerful. It was the direct result of the foundation Srta. Duran built.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is what she does—for so many children.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>She brings warmth, intention, and joy into her classroom every day. From calming morning routines to creative, engaging lessons, she creates an environment where students feel safe, excited, and capable.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But now, she needs our help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Srta. Duran is facing significant legal expenses related to her visa process, and without support, we risk losing an educator who is deeply important to our children and our school community.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are raising $22,000 to help cover her legal fees and support her application so she can continue teaching and impacting lives here at Collinswood.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If your family, your child, or your community has ever been touched by a teacher who goes above and beyond, we ask you to consider donating.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every contribution—no matter the size—helps.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Let’s come together as a community to support someone who has given so much to our children.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for being part of this effort.

</div>
<div>Si alguna vez su hijo ha tenido un maestro que realmente cambió su vida, entonces entenderá lo que estamos tratando de proteger.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>La Srta. Cindy Duran es una de esas educadoras excepcionales y difíciles de encontrar.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Como madre de dos estudiantes en Collinswood Language Academy, he visto de antemano el impacto extraordinario que tiene—no solo en el crecimiento académico de los niños, sino también en la confianza, el carácter y el amor por el aprendizaje. Mis hijos no solo aprendieron español en su salón—se sintieron vistos, apoyados e inspirados todos los días.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Cuando mi hijo comenzó primer grado, estaba teniendo dificultades y se estaba atrasando en español. La Srta. Duran lo recibió con paciencia, ánimo y una confianza inquebrantable en su capacidad. Ella dedicó su propio tiempo después de la escuela y durante los recesos para ayudarlo. Y, sorprendentemente, él esperaba con entusiasmo esos momentos.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Cuando su comportamiento cambió a mitad de año, ella no esperó—se comunicó de inmediato, no por obligación, sino por un interés genuino. Gracias a su atención, pudimos apoyarlo rápidamente. Semanas después, volvió a comunicarse para celebrar su progreso junto con nosotros.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hoy, él está prosperando. No solo alcanzó el nivel de su grado—lo superó. Ella reconoció sus fortalezas y comenzó a darle trabajo de segundo grado. Y lo más importante, ahora se siente orgulloso de aprender y quiere tener éxito.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Su impacto no se queda en el salón de clases. En un viaje reciente a México, mi hijo habló español con confianza—ordenó comida, se comunicó con otros niños e incluso ayudó a otro niño a entender un juego para que pudiera participar. Ese momento fue profundamente significativo. Fue el resultado directo de la base que la Srta. Duran ayudó a construir.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Esto es lo que ella hace—por muchísimos niños.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Cada día aporta calidez, intención y alegría a su salón. Desde rutinas tranquilas por la mañana hasta lecciones creativas y atractivas, crea un ambiente donde los estudiantes se sienten seguros, motivados y capaces.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Pero ahora, ella necesita nuestra ayuda.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>La Srta. Duran enfrenta gastos legales significativos relacionados con su proceso de visa, y sin apoyo, corremos el riesgo de perder a una educadora que es profundamente importante para nuestros hijos y nuestra comunidad escolar.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Estamos recaudando $22,000 para ayudar a cubrir sus honorarios legales y apoyar su solicitud, para que pueda continuar enseñando e impactando vidas aquí en Collinswood.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Si su familia, su hijo o su comunidad alguna vez ha sido tocada por un maestro que va más allá de lo esperado, le pedimos que considere hacer una donación.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Cada contribución—sin importar el monto—ayuda.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Unámonos como comunidad para apoyar a alguien que ha dado tanto a nuestros hijos.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Gracias por ser parte de este esfuerzo.
