Thank you soooooo much to everyone who contributed to this GoFundMe my teaching association set up to cover my unpaid leave 🔥 Like I said, my wife and I accepted this cost as we do the money we spend each year on my students’ school supplies, pizza parties, etc., but for our friends and family to love on us like this means more than I can possibly express ❤️

To fight for kids and education on The Activist, I am taking unpaid leave for the first 6 days of school. My wife and I accepted this as just part of the deal, but now the Salt Lake Education Association has setup a GoFundMe to try and save my family the expense! I am so humbled and grateful for the love and support of my friends, family, and fellow teachers 🙏🏼❤️

Special shout-out to my principal for being my fiercest and most dedicated advocate—I wouldn’t be on this journey if it wasn’t for you!! 🔥
