You have read here about the courageous journey of Vivian Connell. She lives in North Carolina, where she was a teacher for many years. In 2010, discouraged by the state legislature’s hostility to teachers and low salaries, she left the classroom to enter law school. She graduated last May with honors. Vivian recently learned she has ALS, Lou Gehrig’s Disease, and she returned to teaching for whatever time remains to her. Her goal right now is to raise $20,000 to take her class to the U. S. Holocaust Museum in D. C.

An amazing woman of dignity, character, and generosity. Through just a small donation, I feel privileged to be embarking in spirit, on this worthwhile journey with Vivian and her students. Thank you Vivian, for planting valuable seeds of tolerance and courage in each of your students. Your students are already forever changed from the wisdom and courageous lessons you have prioritized for their life learning. Each of these growling souls you have touched, will scatter new and stronger seeds of humanity and tolerance as they go forward. What an amazing gift to us all!
