Stymied (like the rest of us) as to what she can do to address America’s seemingly endless plague of mass shootings, Lady Gaga decided to send some love along to the nation’s three most recently affected cities in the form of classroom funding. “Today, I find hope in the work of DonorsChoose.org and I’m proud to partner with them and with Born This Way Foundation to fully fund the classroom project needs in Dayton, OH, El Paso, TX, and Gilroy, CA. 14 classrooms in Dayton, 125 classrooms in El Paso, and 23 classrooms in Gilroy will now have access to the support they need to inspire their students to work together and bring their dreams to life,” the singer posted to Facebook Friday.

Continued Gaga, “We cannot turn away from ourselves. We cannot turn away from our loved ones. We need each other. Don’t turn away. In loving memory of the victims of the tragic shootings in Dayton, OH, El Paso, TX, and Gilroy, CA.” Of course, the fact these classes need Lady Gaga’s financial intervention to provide their students with books and supplies to begin with is yet another sad state of affairs, but any little bit helps, we guess.
