Read full article: HISD provides assistance to 5 of its students who lost their home in a fireAfter learning one of its families lost their home and all their possessions in a fire amid the coronavirus pandemic, Houston Independent School District (HISD) offered assistance to five of its students and their parents through a ProUnitas donation. The Jackson family includes three children who attend Elmore Elementary School, one who attends Key Middle School and the oldest who attends Kashmere High School. Upon learning of the fire, Elmore Elementary School Wraparound Specialist Curtis Simmons quickly connected the Jackson family with immediate donations and resources including food, clothing and technology for school. During those efforts, Simmons learned of a monetary donation given to the district from ProUnitas and Give Together Now for select HISD families. Along with his colleagues at Key Middle School and Kashmere High School who also work with the Jackson students, Simmons wrote a letter advocating for the family of seven to be selected for assistance.
