Lending A Hand For Back To School

With the new school year just a few weeks away, Jessie Galipo is reaching out to families in need to help ease the pressure of back-to-school costs. From uniforms and shoes to stationery and supplies, Jessie is offering support to ensure every child in the community can start the year prepared.

Jessie shared the motivation behind her generosity, “I have always been taught that 'you never know what someone is going through.' After the 2025 floods, the people of the Ingham community lost so much and everyone is in a state of trying to get back on their feet. I have a big heart and I dislike seeing people struggle, so I try my best to help out when I can. By just simply helping someone in a time of struggle without making it known to the whole world could be the blessing they’ve been waiting for. People can reach out through Facebook or through my email jgalipo34@gmail.com”

She posted on Facebook and encouraged those in need to reach out, "With back to school just a couple weeks away. I’m reaching out to offer help to any families who may need help with back to school supplies. Back to school can be tough for many people, the new supplies, new uniforms, new shoes along with many other things. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you need a helping hand."
