‘Humans Of New York’ Helps Raise $564K For Brownsville Scholars
by 
What just started as a normal daily post on the widely popular Humans of New York blog went completely viral and produced well deserved feedback.
Brandon Stanton, the man behind the amazing blog, posted a photo on Facebook of a young student that attends Mott Hall Bridges Academy in Brownsville, Brooklyn this past Monday. The photo caption of the bright young scholar read:
“Who’s influenced you the most in your life?”
“My principal, Ms. Lopez.”
“How has she influenced you?”
“When we get in trouble, she doesn’t suspend us. She calls us to her office and explains to us how society was built down around us. And she tells us that each time somebody fails out of school, a new jail cell gets built. And one time she made every student stand up, one at a time, and she told each one of us that we matter.”
Stanton’s post was shared viewed and shared over a million times, creating a yearning to meet “Ms. Lopez.” A few days later, Stanton met with the principal of Mott Hall Bridges Academy, Nadia Lopez. The academy is a public middle school in an area that has one of the highest crime rates in the city where Lopez works extremely hard to create a safe place for her “scholars” (the word she uses to describe her bright pupils).

“This is a neighborhood that doesn’t necessarily expect much from our children, so at Mott Hall Bridges Academy we set our expectations very high,” Lopez told Stanton.
Stanton made it his business to team Ms. Lopez to launch an Indiegogo fundraiser that will pay for sixth graders to take yearly field trips to Harvard University. “I want every child who enters my school to know that they can go anywhere, and that they will belong,” the school’s principal, Nadia Lopez, said on the blog.
To date the campaign has raised over $564,000 to fund the scholars yearly trip to hard with 13 days left.
Well deserved gift for this amazing school. Please consider donating to such an amazing cause.
You ROCK Ms. Lopez!
