Roberts' Rescue
Donation protected
I was a teacher at a Montclair Middle School, this past school year, and in March, one of my students came into the classroom in tears. We learned that, his beautiful family, already contending with serious personal issues, as well as, a global pandemic, was displaced due to an early morning fire in their Montclair home. With four (4) children in tow, this now, single mother, had no choice but to live with a relative in East Orange. As that situation became untenable, she was forced to move into an inner-city shelter, infested with rodents and other vermin.
This woman has been a life-long resident of Montclair, as were her mother and grandmother, prior to her. She attended Montclair Public Schools, as did her mom, and is a proud graduate of Montclair High School. Her children are currently students in the district, as well. She has contacted every organization in town (and some out of town), such as, MNDC, HomeCorp, Mountclair Housing/Section 8, etc., all to no avail.
This is a story that is constantly being re-told and is, sadly, a shameful element of Montclair's history. Thank God for the people who remain compassionate, concerned and considerate....
Your caring has not, and will not, go unnoticed or unappreciated.
Please contribute, what you can, to help this beautiful family....
Thank You...Thank You...Thank you...
