Lori Campbell is a third grade teacher at Lorenzo Manor Elementary School in Hayward. She's been teaching for 15 years. Like all teachers in the Bay Area, she is sheltering in place and was wondering how she could help her students during the pandemic.
Lori received her tax refund and needed a root canal but with her dentist closed, she wondered if there was a way that she could put that $2000 that she had held aside for her root canal toward a greater cause. She then took the money and went grocery shopping for her students, delivering food to their homes.
People started hearing about what Lori was doing and they started asking her if they could Venmo her money so she could keep shopping and keep delivering!
Then our wonderful Breeze listeners got on board and started not only helping by donating money, but by helping Lori make those deliveries!
We are now about 3 months into the pandemic and Lori just made her 100th delivery and has collected $14,000 in donations!
Look at how many groceries she is able to deliver with the help of the community donations!
