Family Support

Jan. 25 Update: We're reopening this fundraiser to provide continued support for families from our school community impacted by federal occupation and terror. Every day, we deepen into knowing that the only way we will get through this is together. Please join us in supporting our kids and families.

Jan. 12 Update: It has been less than 24 hours since we opened this fundraiser, and you have already all but met our goal. Thank you!!! We have temporarily closed the fund so that we can focus on getting this to the families who need it quickly and safely. Our kiddos came home today talking about who was missing from school. That reality will be with us for at least a month. Need is increasing by the day, we're building out infrastructure to meet that long haul. As we do that, though, your generosity gives us hope. We'll let you know when it's time to replenish the fund, and are grateful that you stand with us behind our students, staff, and families.

On December 1, 2025, federal Department of Homeland Security and ICE agents descended on the Twin Cities to begin ‘Operation Metro Surge.’ Just a month later, it swelled to "the largest DHS operation ever." On the same day that an agent killed Renee Good, other agents came to a Minneapolis high school during school hours, detained beloved staff, and deployed teargas on students. Minneapolis Public Schools is now allowing distance learning, but affected families are trapped. Some cannot safely reach their jobs, and funds are running low. We are neighbors and parents who are raising funds to support these families at our local public middle school because there is no such thing as other people's children.
