I was in the pilot program of Head Start in Sunnydale and I personally know the benefits. I was excited for kindergarten and I wasn’t afraid of starting school. I could count, line up, and was ready to learn when I got there. Those positive early experiences definitely set me up for a successful academic life. Sunnydale is one of many San Francisco neighborhoods Wu Yee serves with Head Start and Early Head Start. Now as part of the leadership team at Wu Yee, I couldn’t be more proud to continue the work that I so benefitted from.
Every Child Deserves the Best Start
In San Francisco, 32% of children live below the federal poverty line and roughly 17% live in destitution. During the COVID-19 pandemic, quality of life has deteriorated for these children, and they need your help. By donating to Wu Yee Children’s Services, you are supporting the physical, emotional, and intellectual security of San Francisco’s youngest residents. Your support ensures that children are well fed, that they have safe daycares to attend while their parents are at work, and that they have access to Head Start education. Join the Wu Yee supporters list today to make a difference.
