Therapy Fees for Emmell
Donation protected
Emmell is an 12-year-old student who wore a durag to Christ the King school in Edmonton in September 2019 and was accused of having "gang affiliations." His mother met with the principal to request an apology.
Instead of acknowledging the concerns of racial profiling, the principal put the school on lockdown, called the police, and banned Una from the school premises for one year.
9 months later, the school board has finally apologized for their actions. But Emmell has been through a lot, and we would like to put together a small fund to pay for therapy sessions when he is ready. Our goal is $2000, which will cover 8-10 full sessions.
