Seeing this school-wide response, Duffy stated, “When I spoke to the students about possibly getting involved in helping these children, the students wholeheartedly responded. They have been truly excited about impacting the lives of the children in Bucharest, and they can’t wait for the updates on how many pajamas they’ve collected and how much money they have raised. I am thankful for their compassion and leadership.” Duffy will take the pajamas and donations to her colleagues in Ireland this month who will deliver the donations to Bucharest. Ultimately, the Tuxedo Park School donation will include over 250 pairs of pajamas, three homemade blankets, and over $1,400 worth of strollers and supplies. Alan Richard Jackson Kevin J.
