Eliza Kritz, founding teacher of Rocketship Redwood City, launched a campaign through Go Found Me to help families financially affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The campaign notes that money raised through the Rocketship Redwood City Prep Community Fund will support the families of 15 students at the school.
"The COVID-19 outbreak has caused many households to lose their livelihoods and income. The school where I work, Rocketship Redwood City, has collected feedback and identified families who have been hard hit and need our support right now," said teacher Kritz.

It is expected that the collection will reach three thousand dollars, and most likely they will surpass it this Tuesday, because as of 10:30 a.m. they had raised two thousand 905 dollars.
"We are raising money in hopes of supporting 15 families at our school in their financial needs. All proceeds raised will be given to the families to be used for bills, clothing and food assistance," the campaign states.
It is worth noting that several families not only in San Mateo County, but throughout the state have been affected in various ways due to the ravages of the COVID-19 pandemic, such as job losses and business closures, among others.
