“I give during the SEFA Campaign because you never know when you might be the receiver rather than the giver. When my daughter was born, she had to be in a hospital in Rochester for 54 days. My family, including my 11-year-old son, had to pick up everything and temporarily move to the area. The Ronald McDonald House was there to welcome me and my family. We had all the services of being at our own home. They had a shuttle to and from the hospital. They fed us three meals a day; we had laundry, a bedroom, and a bathroom. No payment was required to stay there unless you could. They only asked us to do some chores and keep the space clean. It truly was a blessing to have them help us during a very difficult time. Without the generous donations from others, they would not be able to provide the comfort of a home away from home, support, and resources for families. Giving to them through the United Way is my way of thanking them for all they did for me and for all they continue to do to help others who find themselves in the same situation.”
—Andrea Hoehman

We warmly invite you to share your reasons for giving, and we'll feature them in the Daily until the end of the SEFA Campaign on December 14. Please send your thoughts to campaign co-chairs Wendy Paterson, dean of the School of Education, or Maria C. Garrity, senior systems programmer in Information Technology. Let's maintain our momentum, as together, we can achieve this! To donate, please go to the e-pledge system and click "Forgot user ID or password" to begin the process, even if you are rolling over your pledge from last year because it is not automatic. This instructional video and documentation can further guide you.  If you prefer to donate by cash or check please complete the paper form (PDF, 4 MB) and submit it to the School of Education, Bacon Hall 306, or to your departmental ambassador. Here is the list of designated charities for your convenience. Thank you.
