Night in Houston

Image
Once we made it to Houston we found our hotel and settled in. I was lucky to be able to meet up with my friend from the New York Times summer program while I was here. She picked me up and brought me out to dinner at Ninfa's on Navigation where I was able to try some authenitc Tex-Mex cuisine! If you ever find yourself in Houston, make sure you get in a meal at Ninfa's. The mole gelato, amazing!

Making the Donation

As I reflect on the time I spent in Houston, with Lady Taylor, and the volunteers, I continue to realize how amazing this opportunity and this experience really was. I'm not sure exactly what I was expecting since I had no prior knowledge to where we were going or what the area looked like, but everything was so new for me. We drove through the community where the church was and it was shocking to see how the effects of the hurricane and its devastation were still persisting in the community, which looked socioeconomically to have been fairly weak to begin with.

Final Step: Fundraising

Now that the trip is over and I'm back in Boston (and back in the cold weather!), the next step for this project is fundraising to cover the costs of the trip. My goal is to reach at least $2000, which is about how much the trip was with gas, overnights, and the rental of the UHaul. If we pass our fundraising goal of $2000, any extra will go towards CCSR for help with future projects. Any little bit will be a big help with reaching our goal! If you are interested in fundraising, here's what you can do: Write a check with your desired payment, to be made out to Medford CCSR (Make sure to note in the memo section that the check is for the Hurricane Harvey Relief Project).   You can mail the check to Medford High School here: Medford High School ATTN: Richard Trotta, CCSR Director 489 Winthrop Street Medford, MA  02155 A big thanks to everyone who made the effort to donate to hurricane relief!
