Lady Gaga announced that she will fully fund classroom project needs in Dayton, Ohio; El Paso, Texas; and Gilroy, California, after mass shootings in the cities in the past two weeks.
Gaga will be working with her Born This Way Foundation and partnering with DonorsChoose.org to fund 14 classroom projects in Dayton, 23 in Gilroy and 125 in El Paso.
She wrote,
“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…
“…classrooms will now have access to the support they need to inspire their students to work together and bring their dreams to life. We cannot turn away from ourselves. We cannot turn away from our loved ones. We need each other.
Don’t turn away.”
