Lady Gaga announces plans to fund more than 160 classroom projects in El Paso, Dayton and Gilroy

Lady Gaga is fully funding classroom projects to support the communities of El Paso, Dayton, and Gilroy following mass shootings.

The pop star wants to “inspire their students to work together and bring their dreams to life.”

Gaga announced her plan on Facebook last night by writing a note to the cities that were affected by these horrific mass shootings.

A note to Dayton, El Paso, and Gilroy:

My heart goes out to those who were taken from us too soon and to their families, loved ones, and communities who are left to grieve. Everyone has the right to laws that make them feel safe in their communities. In this moment, I want to channel my confusion, frustration, and fury into hope. Hope that we are there for each other and for ourselves.

Today, I find hope in the work of DonorsChoose.org and I’m proud to partner with them and with Born This Way Foundation to fully fund the classroom project needs in Dayton, OH, El Paso, TX, and Gilroy, CA. 14 classrooms in Dayton, 125 classrooms in El Paso, and 23 classrooms in Gilroy will now have access to the support they need to inspire their students to work together and bring their dreams to life.

Surviving and recovering from these tragedies also means prioritizing your mental health and checking in on your loved ones. If you’re struggling, please be brave and tell a trusted someone. Don’t be scared to ask for help, I beg you. If you see a loved one struggling, please be brave and reach out, remind them it’s ok to not be ok, and listen to them. We cannot turn away from ourselves. We cannot turn away from our loved ones. We need each other. Don’t turn away.

In loving memory of the victims of the tragic shootings in Dayton, OH, El Paso, TX, and Gilroy, CA.

A light in a dark tunnel. Thank you. We need this sentiment to be heard and understood. Love conquers all. If you can help out in anyway please do.
