Dear La principal friends and family,

We are reaching out to ask for support in helping one of our own. Angelina (Gigi), one of our staff members, recently lost her son.

She is asking for support in this hard time in covering the costs of a memorial and funeral. We have added the link to our bio to donate.

At a time like this we are hopeful that our community can aid Gigi with the financial burden that this tragedy has brought.

Thank you for any consideration, support, donation, and share.
