Dear Neighbors,

I’m asking you again for any extra paper grocery bags you may have. While we still have a lot left over from our last materials distribution in the Fall, it’s not enough for the whole school, and we have fresh curriculum materials and FREE BOOKS that I got through a grant from the Oakland Literacy Coalition to distribute to every student.

Families are going to come to the school on Friday, January 22nd, and we’re going to start assembling the bags on Tuesday, January 19th.

Please drop them off on my porch or give me a call if you’d like me to come pick them up from your porch.

Thank you!

Hi Jennifer, 
I’m not sure if we’ve met, I’m @ 5667 oak grove.  We only have plastic bags now but if this is ongoing I’ll save paper bags.  Are you ever in need of donated kids books? We just did a big purge but likely will do another. 
Thanks!

Re: Pandemic help - seeking backyard

Good luck with this ... unfortunately we are in our backyard all the time. ?My husband is a sculptor and has his studio there and it is not private as the house next door sees into the yard . ?But, really, good luck.

Dear neighbor-friends,
By now most of you know me, but introductions are always useful! I've been an OG resident for nearly 10 years now. I'm a pediatric pain psychologist and treat kids living with all manner of chronic pain. Covid has been particularly rough on this population, as they've been cut off from their treatment teams, friends, hobbies, and coping tools. I've been treating these kids virtually via zoom for approx 10 months. As you might imagine, it's been pretty terrible. They loathe it and I'm finding it nearly impossible to provide effective care.

As an essential service provider, I am now seeing patients in person, outdoors, at a distance, and masked. I've been using a neighbor's empty backyard, but someone reported me as a "trespasser" (despite my having explicit permission to use the space). My kids and I are now in a pickle, and are desperately seeking a backyard to use for a few hours in the afternoon M-Thurs. I would gladly rotate yards if we could find more than one. It's definitely tricky b/c we require privacy, but a neighbor's backyard is more private than any public park.

I realize that this is an unusual request, but strange times call for strange emails. I'd appreciate any and all leads, particularly if you know of any empty yards, folks who are out of town from whom I could get permission, etc.
Wishing you all best and thank you,
Rachel Zoffness
