“We are hoping to raise $50,000 to cover for travel, lodging, activities, and food accommodations. Our students are from underserved areas within the Washington Metropolitan area. Hence, without CGF they will not have the opportunity to experience this.”

On August 15, Texas educator Candra Rogers was seriously injured by a student during a classroom altercation, making her lose sight in her right eye. A GoFundMe has been started to help with recovery expenses.

“This is an arduous situation and will take time. Please continue to pray for me, my family, my school, and my district, even the child who caused this incident and his family,” the fundraiser reads.

TX Educator Loses Sight in Right Eye

Rogers, an assistant principal at at Collins Intermediate School, was responding to a call for assistance from a behavioral teacher when she found one student who had reportedly been assaulted by a classmate outside the classroom with the teacher and other students.

Upon entering the classroom, Rogers encountered an “irate” student in a “ransacked” room. Despite her attempts to de-escalate the situation, the student threw multiple chairs and ultimately a wooden hanger. The hanger struck Rogers in the right eye and knocked it out of its socket, causing Rogers to be airlifted to a Dallas hospital for emergency surgery. School officials released the student into the custody of his parents and have prohibited him from returning to campus.

“I grabbed my face while blood was pouring out of my head and stumbled out of the classroom door,” Rogers recounted in a press conference. Doctors were able to reinsert her eye, but they believe the damage is permanent, and Rogers may ultimately lose the eye entirely.

“I will have to have an additional surgery to repair my eyelid, and because doctors are believing my blindness to be permanent, removing my eye may have to be an option,” Rogers said. “I still believe in God for a miracle for restoration of my sight.”

Rogers has been surrounded by her loving husband and children as they help her during this difficult, trying recovery process.
