Dear Friend, 

 

Our students live with chaos and instability every day. They experience varying levels of trauma; some have been victims of violence and abuse; many more have witnessed it. Our students experience high rates of health problems. They are sick more often than other children. They also go hungry at twice the rate of other children and have three times more emotional and behavioral problems than their housed peers.  

 

And yet, when you read about mother and daughter tutors Susan Edelman and Clara Pitsker and how much they care about their students, or Jason Lee whose student encourages him to pursue his own dreams, you will understand that our students are fortunate to have such committed and compassionate people in their lives.

I'm inspired when I read about our star students and volunteers.  I'm inspired by all our students, volunteers and donors.  In my mind, you're all stars. Thank you for caring. Your support is helping make a significant difference in so many lives.

With gratitude,

School on Wheels runs a weekly advice feature every Tuesday called Ask a Tutor Tuesday!
