This e-mail just hit my inbox at RE/MAX Whatcom County, and I had to pass it along. Last week, Whatcom Middle School was destroyed – along with the students’, teachers’ and staff’s belongings inside. And now they’re asking the community to help.
Here’s a direct quote from the e-mail:
“Below is a list of items that are needed – some of these kids that lost everything are also low-income families so this is an even greater added expense for them that is not affordable.
- pencils
- lined paper
- graph paper
- spiral notebooks
- calculators
- rulers
- pens
- dividers
- binders
- glue sticks
- markers
- planners
- scissors
- back pack
- Sharpies (black).
All of the items collected will be donated on behalf of RE/MAX Whatcom County and all its Realtors & Staff. Please help out if you can. Money is also welcome but the actual supplies are what is urgently needed.”
My offer to the readers of this blog:
I will personally match all blog readers’ donations up to $100.00. AND… I’ll do the shopping and handle the delivery of all items we can collect or buy by Wednesday.
Just shoot me a quick e-mail at brandon@nwhomes.net or call me at 360-319-0696, tell me the exact donation you’d like to make, and we’ll square up when we’ve made the delivery.
Let’s show our local Bellingham students and their families that we sincerely care about getting them back to learning as fast as possible!!!
