"I am literally in tears! Thank you so much for helping me with rent and groceries. I did not know how I was going to pay rent and feed my children with the shutdown. Thank you so much!"
"Without your office I would be on the street! Thank you for paying rent and giving me gift cards to put a present under the tree for my kids."
"I can't thank you enough for everything you have done this year through COVID and not working so much. I love working on campus with students in The Pitt but being shut down is hard. Especially with no more unemployment for us. I try finding other work but it is hard to find jobs. I'm just trying to keep my apartment and feed my kids. Thank you for helping me do that."
