A 6-year-old girl is remembered by family, friends and an entire community Wednesday. Aniya Allen was shot while riding in the back of a car and she died days later.
Neighborhood Storage, which opened in 1979, heard of the plight. The company not only paid $500 to its partner, South Ocala Elementary School, but also gave an additional $3,500 to be split among seven schools that did not have a business partner.
The money helped pay for breakfast, lunch and/or other activities that the school had planned for its teachers.
Those schools were: North Marion High, Horizon Academy and five elementary schools: Emerald Shores, Greenway Elementary, Harbour View, Legacy Elementary and Ocala Springs. The money is paid through the Public Education Foundation of Marion County. Business Partnerships play a vital role in supporting schools, said Meghan Magamoll, the foundation s executive director, in a text interview. During this past Teacher Appreciation Week, Neighborhood Storage stepped up to the plate and provided funding to all seven of the schools without their own partners.
