Consuelo Brewer was nominated by her colleague, Tracie Diggins.
Mrs. Brewer is a special education teacher specializing in Autism Spectrum Disorder at Charles R. Drew Transition Center in Detroit. She is an educator who always puts her students first, no matter what. She noticed that her students were going to school in sweatshirts during the very cold winter month of November. Mrs. Brewer set up a DonorsChoose.org project looking for coats, hats, gloves and boots for her classroom. This fundraiser allows individuals to donate directly to public school classroom projects. The goal was met, and the students were very happy with their new winter gear! The parents were also excited because many were unable to afford this expensive winter gear.
Mrs. Brewer started to notice that this issue was not just a theme in her classroom, but a school-wide problem. After talking to many students throughout the school, she realized that many students did not have the appropriate winter clothing. She decided to set up another DonorsChoose.org project for warm winter coats, hats and gloves for the students at Charles R. Drew Transition Center. She began raising money on December 11, 2017 and raised $17,288.00 by January 5, 2018. She asked all of her friends, family and complete strangers to make her birthday wish come true and donate money so these students could stay warm. Mrs. Brewer's wish was granted, and 159 students were able to receive warm winter clothes.
Local media outlets were contacted to report about what Mrs. Brewer had done for these students with special needs. The story went viral and received over 1 million views on Facebook. Columbia Sportswear saw this story and contacted Mrs. Brewer to thank her for purchasing their coats and offer more help to the school. They donated 302 additional coats to the school, so that every student had a coat. With each coat costing $200 - $300, Columbia Sportswear basically donated $70,000 worth of coats to the school. Mrs. Brewer has changed the lives of her students by taking a moment to observe and make sure their basic needs were met.
"This wonderful teacher is our super hero!" Diggins said.
Mrs. Brewer is a loving, caring professional. Last year she chose to provide warm coats for our students that had limited resources to obtain coats. With her family several coats were purchased and given to Drew students. She is self-less and goes out of her way to assist others. She is definitely a worthy person to receive this award and would be a shining example of a Life Changer!
Mrs. Brewer is an outstanding teacher. She goes above and beyond for her students on a daily basis. She is kind, loving, and one of the most giving people I know. Mrs. Brewer is very knowledgeable of the needs of our Autistic students and is able to tap into various techniques and strategies to assist them with achieving their individual goals at school. Mrs. Brewer also volunteers in the community and is always searching for ways to assist others, and is successful! I would highly recommend Mrs. Brewer to receive this award as she is truly a life changer!
Mrs. Brewer goes above and beyond for her students. She is always looking out for their well-being and she puts her all into making sure she teaches them the skills they need to learn to be successful. Her smile brightens the classroom & she always has a warm, friendly, and safe classroom environment. Most importantly, her selflessness has made a huge impact in the lives of many students at Drew! I couldn't think of anyone better who is deserving of this award other than Mrs. Brewer!

I have known Mrs. Consuelo Brewer for over 28 years. We attended Denby High School, located in the city of Detroit, graduating in 1990. Mrs. Brewer has maintained her responsible, dedicated and caring personality over the years.
Mrs. Brewer serves the community with distinction as she has demonstrated through an unwavering commitment to educating the youth.
Mrs. Brewer sets unselfish goals that take into account the needs of others. Her dedication extends beyond normal working hours as she has displayed her love of the community by ensuring the children received warm clothing to combat the harsh Michigan winter.
It is with great pleasure and admiration that I write this letter of recommendation for Mrs. Consuelo Brewer.
I remember as a little girl one day I was just extremely anxious. My mother was at home and I needed a mother's love. Consuelo (my godmom) put me in her lap and reassured me, that I had her and that she was there for me. She was patient and calm and stayed with me until I was better. She is literally the sweetest person I know. She truly makes the world a better place.
Consuelo Brewer is a phenomenon teacher who went above and beyond the call of duty. She is compassionate, loving, thoughtful and the list goes on and on. She not only cares for her classroom, but the whole school. She saw that the students at Drew needed coats ,so she received a grant for 17,000 to provide coats for the whole school. Need I say more??
There’s no one more deserving than Mrs. Brewer. Selfless and compassionate, with a heart of gold.
