Dear Friends,

This Thanksgiving, gratitude is taking on a new and greater meaning. Here at Identity, we are even more grateful for the honor of helping our suffering neighbors through this unprecedented, and often life-threatening  pandemic - with your help. 

As you know, COVID-19 is devastating Latino and other historically vulnerable communities as disproportionate numbers of parents lost jobs, became ill or both.  And many young people already struggling to succeed in school were suddenly thrust into the deep waters of distance learning. So far, we have helped stabilize nearly 5000 families and provided thousands of Identity youth with equipment for remote school and extra emotional and academic support. 

But we can’t let up. Nine months in, families who previously had been able to hold on are facing a crisis point. Your support will prevent them from falling into a hole they may not be able to climb out of - not just financially but academically.

During this pandemic, a gift to Identity will  keep vulnerable students connected to school, older youth to work and parents able to help them.
