“Rogelio and Family Need Legal Help – Urgently!”


via GoFundMe

“Dear PoPville,

Reaching out on behalf of the dedicated school garden coordinator at Brightwood elementary in Ward 4 in a high-need community. He built the much-needed Brightwood Elementary school garden, putting in many hours of his free time, after working in the classroom all day, to provide a teaching garden so these children will have learning experiences like children attending prosperous schools do.

The garden makes a difference. In addition to the garden produce, the garden also hosts a twice-monthly food distribution of pantry items, thru a grant, to Brightwood families.

While Rogelio gives of his time freely and has built tremendous community support. He needs financial contributions (see below) but this is a community with limited means. Hoping that a few contributions from readers can help Brightwood reach the goal of raising $8000. for Rogelio and his family.

Here is the GoFundMe started by Brightwood school staff and community:

Rogelio and Family Need Legal Help – Urgently!

Witnesses stated the plaintiff walked away and said she was fine at the time of the slip. Rogelio and Nelly have no means to pay legal fees to defend themselves….”

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.
