Wendy Louise Chinni Foundation COVID-19 Relief Fund

Throughout our careers, each of us has encountered that unique student – one who overcomes seemingly insurmountable adversity and obstacles to, ultimately, beat the odds. Wendy is that student. Wendy experienced a childhood of misfortune. Her dad battled the demons of alcohol, failed in his responsibilities as a father, and left Wendy and her seven siblings when she was too young even to form memories of him. Wendy's mom struggled to care for her eight children and eventually put her in the hands of the orphanages of Catholic Charities. Wendy made the most of her time in and out of the orphanages and foster homes and, ultimately, overcame her misfortunes - in large part, by turning to books. Despite all of her tribulations, Wendy was given the precious gift of reading from her teachers – a gift that she would value for a lifetime. 

Through books, Wendy would travel the world, dream her many dreams, dine with the rich and famous, satisfy her curiosities, and accrue infinite knowledge. A voracious reader, Wendy would eventually earn a high school diploma, yet, she never had the opportunity to attend college. However, Wendy's intellect was not measured by degrees decorating her wall, but rather, the stacks of books that donned her coffee table. She would carry conversations on topics from the Ottoman Empire to FDR – and hold her own with the best of historians, and challenge the best of NY Times crossword enthusiasts. While others around her gazed at television screens, Wendy immersed herself in the pages of Pearl S. Buck's The Good Earth and Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre.

Ultimately, Wendy instilled in her four children the importance of education – more specifically, the priceless value of our public education system. It is 30 years now since I packed my chalk and took my first step in a public school classroom - as a teacher. And, it is Wendy's story – like the unique story of every student that I have encountered along this 30-year journey - that continues to motivate me and bring purpose and meaning to my work in education. 

While Wendy encountered and, ultimately, overcame many seemingly insurmountable challenges throughout her storied life, sadly, she would lose her courageous battle to the coronavirus on April 18, 2020. Just as she dedicated much of her life, Wendy would want her legacy to serve in support of those in need. To this end, 10% of all 2020-2021 TMI Professional Learning Consortium membership fees will be dedicated to supporting COVID-19 relief in our local educational community.
