“Pennies for Paula”

          Paula Gilsdorf-Barker is an amazing woman who is constantly trying to bless the lives of others—despite overwhelming trials in her own life.  She has had to endure the deaths of two husbands as well as a son.  Now she is fighting yet another battle. 

         Recently while in Africa providing humanitarian aid, Paula was in a terrible taxi accident.  After she was flown to Paris for surgery, doctors decided that the damage to her legs was too severe, and they had to amputate both legs from the knee down.  She now has a long road to recovery, but we can help ease the burden of her journey!

        As you can imagine, Paula’s medical and travel expenses are now tremendous.  As a result, our Service Club and NJHS have decided to put on a “Pennies for Paula” donation drive.  We will be collecting money to contribute to Paula’s cause from Wednesday, April 13th to Friday, April 22nd. 

       There will be collection jars in the front office and library of both Q1 and Q2.  People will also be coming around to each classroom to collect donations at the end of Friday, April 15th and Friday, April 22nd.  Please donate whatever you can.  Help this wonderful woman know that people are thinking of and caring about her, just as she has done for countless others.

If you are unable to send cash/change to the school during this money drive, or if you would like to read more about Paula’s story, you may go tohttps://www.youcaring.com/paula-gilsdorf-barker-545924.
