Donate in Memory of Mary Eileen Meyer

Mary Eileen Meyer was a deeply caring teacher, a mentor, and a beloved member of the Chicago Public Schools (CPS) community for more than 30 years. As one of the first Head Start teachers, she was dedicated to shaping the lives of countless students, whose lives she touched so profoundly that many kept in touch long after they graduated.

To honor Mary Eileen's generous and bold commitment to education and students, we invite you to make a gift to the Children First Fund Compassion Fund. This fund, which provides direct support to CPS students and families, perfectly reflects the kind of person and dedicated educator Mary Eileen was for everyone around her.

Through the Compassion Fund, schools can respond to urgent, everyday needs (whether that's school supplies, a warm coat, or support for a family facing unexpected hardship), ensuring students feel safe, supported, and ready to learn.

Your gift is a meaningful way to honor Mary Eileen's enduring legacy and continue the profound impact she made on so many people.

Thank you for helping carry her care and commitment forward.
