Fundraiser for Crossing Guard injured in a Hit and Run last week, “She is a single mother to two boys”


via GoFundMe

Thanks to Tiffani for sending an update on the “crossing guard hit by a motorist who did not stop”. The gofundme page says:

“On Wednesday, December 20th, West Education Campus’ beloved Crossing Guard, Jawan Thompson, was hit from behind by a motorist who did not even stop to see if she was ok. (read more about the accident at the link below) Jawan fractured her neck and broke her pelvis in four places; she is recovering at Washington Medstar Hospital. It is a blessing to greet Jawan each morning and afternoon on your way to/from school. Whether giving you a huge smile and hug, or a dollar bill for your piggy bank when you lost your first tooth, she is thoughtful and caring. It is overwhelming to think that she was injured so badly while working to keep our children safe. Jawan is a special part of our community, and we want to show her how much we love and appreciate her. She is a single mother to two boys, ages 9 and 12, and any amount you can give will be a huge blessing during these months while she is recovering and not able to work. Thank you!”

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.

You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.

It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
