United Way of Dane County

Dear Renee Moe and United Way of Dane County,

The past week has been both the longest and shortest that we have ever walked through at Abundant Life Christian School. In the wake of the most terrible tragedy to occur to us, we have been blessed by an outpouring of support, kindness, and love.

We are incredibly grateful to United Way of Dane County for being so quick to respond with what is needed most – funds to support our families.

The Abundant Life Christian School Emergency and Recovery Fund established by United Way of Dane County is a gift to our faculty, staff, students and families. Our top priorities for these monies are to support our school family from the ongoing needs of the injured to the long-term mental health needs of the student body, staff, and families. Our order of priority is to come alongside any financial needs of the families who lost loved ones first, then to support the medical expenses of those injured, then with remaining funds to provide for the mental health needs of the Challenger Family that come from the traumatic incident on December 16.

We can truly never express the depth of our gratitude to the community of Madison and beyond who have come alongside us in these most trying of days. We have been loved so well!

Thank you for all of your help and for making it possible for us to further support our Challenger Family in ways that make a real difference.
