Camron McDonald: Surviving Shelter-in-Place

January 5, 2020 by Anita Jones Roehrick

This is a note of gratitude to his donors from our fledgling poet, Camron McDonald, rising junior at Marin School of the Arts in Novato, California. As he finishes up his sophomore year via distance learning during shelter-in-place, for entertainment, Camron is into gaming and making his own music beats. His comfort food is ramen and he continues to turn to the art of writing for self-expression.

Thank you, Friend…

…for helping me and my family in our time of need. I appreciate you and all you have to offer. Thank you for being supportive and giving a shoulder to lean on.

—Camron McDonald, May 2020
