J.J.’s Story

I am a public-school employee married to a government employee and together we are the parents of children who attend private school. We choose our careers to serve our community. Just like we can choose our careers, we also believe in the choice of education. Its amazing how each person in our community and their lives interwind with others. Our story interwinds with our tenants. Our tenant lost her job and has not paid rent in three months. We know that these are unprecedented times and we want to help our fellow tenant out. The lack of rental income impacts our ability to provide for private school tuition. The SAFE Grants program gives me and my husband hope. It gives us hope that our government has our back. It gives us hope that our children can remain at their school. It gives us hope that together we will make it through the pandemic.
