Circle of Help Wraps Up an Incredible Year

1/4/2021

As 2020 comes to an end, The Circle of Help would like to thank the Waters administration, our incredible teachers and staff, WatersToday, Waters Local School Council, and all of you who have helped support our most vulnerable families during this very difficult year. 

As the year wraps we are incredibly thankful for so many of you who have volunteered time, donated money, delivered items, and stepped up in so many ways during this pandemic time. 

Over the last few months, we have accomplished so much, therefore, we wanted to share with you a few personal stories that The Circle of Help has made possible with YOUR help.  

We have delivered food, medicine, and good cheer to families with COVID who were so glad to have additional help in their most difficult time of need.

We have provided a family with child care assistance after they had to take a different job to accommodate their child’s remote learning schedule. ‘

We hand delivered printers to families that needed an extra boost for their learning because a teacher noticed they needed some extra help. 

We have put Christmas presents under a family’s tree when they didn’t have any. 

We have purchased special glasses for children who were struggling with increased screen time. 

We have provided housing essentials to families that have lost family members this year and who needed the extra help.

We have purchased cat toys for a family with special needs that are comforted by their animals.

We have made care packages for teenagers who were struggling with the lockdown. 

We’re still going strong! In 2021, we're hoping to expand into providing educational support/tutoring, extracurricular opportunities, and helping with childcare for working families. Stay tuned!

We are so grateful for your generosity and help, and so are our families in need. From the whole of our hearts, thank you so much for giving so generously of your time, money, and spirit!

We hope you had a wonderful holiday!
