HELP!
Michigan's oldest Montessori school is in danger of losing its current home in the woods. The property that Oak Trails Montessori sits on is being sold, and the school has been served an eviction notice. We need your help to raise an additional $50,000 to purchase the beautiful site that has touched the lived of hundreds of children. And, we need to do it fast! We have only 24 hours to raise funds, make an offer, and save the school. If we raise $50,000, we have a donor who will gift a matching donation. With your help, the school will have the funds to purchase the property. As owners of the building (and very special acres of woods surrounding it), the school will be in a more secure position for the future. Ms. Heidi, our lead teacher, will also be able to keep her home that she cherishes! The school has filled children's hearts for the past 64 years there and can continue if we are able to purchase the property.
Please contribute today so that Ms. Heidi and Ms. Nanette can carry on their dream of nurturing the amazing current and future students of Oak Trails. We are hopeful that our supportive community will come together at a time when the news of eviction has made Oak Trail's future uncertain. PLEASE spread the word and share this campaign. Thanks and blessings to you.
* If our goal is not reached, you will be refunded 100% of pledged donation.
