• Good Hygiene Increase School Work!

  Funded Nov 30, 2022

  Thanks for your kindness and dedication.

  Because of people like you, our students were able to get the necessary materials to keep a good and healthy hygiene.

  You should have seen their faces and joy when we were giving them the materials.

  One of them came up to me, gave me a huge hug and said "This school is the best place I have been in. I am trully blessed to have met people like you. I replied " It's not only us here in school who cares about children, there are lots of us out there like those who support Donnor Choose.

  Thanks again and God bless all of you!”

• Good To Be Back In Person

  Funded Sep 29, 2022

  Thank you so much for your generosity. My students were thrilled when they saw the dinning room set. I see them in group and I was so exited to see how concentrated they were. They loved the table and were asking me if they could take it home! They also shared they felt like home which was my main goal after the Pandemic.

  As you can see in the pictures I am about to send, the girls group which is one of my most challenging group but I was finally able to engage them in a task.

  I can not believe how appreciated my students were.”

• We Won't Give Up

  Funded Feb 22, 2021

  Thanks to the generosity of many donors, my students are equipped; to be in class every day. I was amazed when I brought the uniforms to their homes by their gratitude and happiness. Their parents who are mainly one parent household were relieved and grateful to know that there are so many people coming together to help those in needs.

  My students were eagle to wear their uniforms and to know that their teachers won't have to remind them to wear them. They also were very appreciative of the commitment your donors have to provide and make lives of those in need more easy. They all wanted to write letters to your donors but because the majority of them are getting remote learning, I decided to write this letter. Please be sure that your generosity reached a lot of students and that your contribution is making the experience for those who received it, unforgettable.

  Please keep doing what your are doing and members that you have made the lives of lots of students as well as their families more easy and their hopes greater.”

• Uniforms for All!

  Funded Dec 16, 2019

  I would like to thank you for your kind donation towards my students. Your contribution has helped us a lot in doing something for the children of the third world countries. They are not fortunate as us to get the desired education that they and everyone deserve.

  With your donation, those students will be dressed, educated and moved towards a bright future. As stated earlier in my donation request letter, we intend to educate those children who have parents who had come from other countries and in cases their children have never stepped into a school premises. These same students once they come to our school are looked by other more fortunate as strangers because they do not have the attire necessary to be in school (Uniforms).

  I will never forget the faces of these students and parents when I presented them with their uniforms and shoes. It is an excitement that no word can explain.

  Thanks to Chris, Crystal Sacca and the entire DonorChoose team we have succeeded in our mission.

  Thank you for the donations for our after school program. The students are so exited to be able to go out after a long day of school to go to the playground and play for a while. Specially now that they have been taking the city test. To see their eye lighting up when they get the bats and ball to play. You should see them picking up their classmates to be in their teem. Also when they ask me if I want to be in their teem. It got to a point that I am also learning how to play baseball from my students..

  Thanks again a bunch. You are really heroes in the eyes of my students and mine as well.”

• The Celebration of the Three Kings in Our Neighborhood

  Funded Jan 29, 2018

  Thank You so much for donating us these toys. It is great to know that there are people like you out there thinking about those less fortunate.

  My students were so great full when they saw the gift. They could not believe it as you can see in the pictures I send you.

  We are using these prices for those students who are trying their best to be in school every day, those that are bucket fillers by being kind to their classmates, parents, siblings teacher and every one they know. We want our students to be good people like you.

  We are also giving the toys to those who Santa could not go to their homes due to economic issues. My explanation to them is that Sometime, Santa can't be in every house therefore, he has the three kings to help him. In that way, they do not loose their believe.

  I cant thank you enough.”
