Financial Assistance to people affected by Hurricane Harvey 2017

Dear Tu Bi Foundation.

 

On behalf of the Port Aransas School Community and the families & students that make up this very special city, I want to THANK the Tu Bi Foundation and their leaders and volunteers for the heartfelt financial contribution that was made to our School community and our Chamber Foundation on October 21, 2017.

 

So many families received direct financial help from your caring Foundation and it will help tremendously in the most difficult days ahead in our recovery from Hurricane Harvey. Over 90% of our community was impacted significantly by Harvey and our  (3) schools were all damaged that forced closure of our schools for 8 weeks.  Today, over 75% of our students our back in Port Aransas attending school in temporary classroom trailers, with most families still living outside of Port A because their homes were lost or damaged. Many make the commute from other cities as far as 35 miles away just to attend their beloved Port A school.

 

Your much appreciated donation to our Chamber Foundation went immediately to help several school families return to Port Aransas and move into temporary Rv trailer homes so they can be back in their community close to school.  We will be forever grateful for this donation and recognize the selfless work Tu Bi does in helping school families and children in the US and around the world.
