Lauren Mishork Family Fund

Donation protected
Lauren Mishork is an amazing woman.  Along with being an incredible mother, wife, sister, and friend, Lauren has been a beloved teacher at Marin School for the past 15 years.  She has positively impacted hundreds of students with her love, energy, and expertise. In addition, she has collaborated with teachers throughout the Albany Unified School District on the best ways to serve English Language Learner students and children with special needs.  

This summer, Lauren was diagnosed with a condition that is having serious impacts on her health, including severely affecting her ability to speak. But this has not deterred her from continuing to teach.  In fact, in true Lauren spirit, she researched and obtained a communication device that will allow her to continue working with her students.  Not stopping there, Lauren has given presentations to every classroom at Marin School about assistive technology, spreading empathy and understanding for those who use them.  

Lauren’s condition will soon cause further changes in her health, requiring the use of a wheelchair and other assistive devices, which will require significant modifications to her childhood home that her family is moving into.

The goal of this Gofundme website is to help Lauren and her family with imminent costs such as house repair, wheelchair ramps, and other ADA modifications.

How Lauren is facing her condition is how she faces life, taking adversity and turning it into a positive learning experience for herself and others.  This is just one of the many things that makes her such an amazing person.  We are grateful for her many contributions to the Albany School District Community and for the hundreds of lives she has touched.  Please join us in supporting Lauren and her family.

Thank you,

Marin Elementary School
