Funded Mar 15, 2022thank you so so much for donating to my students who are in incredible need. you have a very big heart, and I'm so happy you decided to share your kindness with me and my school. we used your donations to create a snack cart program that helps students learn vocational skills, that will therefore help them transition into the real world after they eventually graduate. some students are closer to the real world than we realize! some of their favorite items to work for are iced teas, plantain chips, and Oreos. thanks”

Amazing Snack Cart!
Funded May 3, 2022thank you for your cutie donation! it was so sweet and nice and kind and the kids absolutely freaked out when they saw all the chips and cookies and juices and waters that you were able to send. it made their whole life and they bring in money every single day to purchase these wonderful and delicious snacks that you donated from the bottom of your heart... well most of them at least... some don't bring money but thats ok because they work and then are able to get a snack for free as payment without putting pressure on snack cart funds!”

Funded Jan 25, 2022My students are so appreciative of the materials that were donated so graciously by wonderful people like yourself. They are so excited to continue such an impactful program that allows them to expand their vocational and functional skills that can be used outside the classroom. These materials ensure that our snack cart will always be stocked with both delicious and nutritious snacks and drinks that can be purchased by staff and students throughout our building. We deeply thankful you for your willingness and efforts to fund our snack cart program to help bring both joy and education to our students, and to help them learn skills that they can use to become successful beyond their school years.”

This classroom project was brought to life by A New York City Parent and 6 other donors.Snack Cart Job Site Program
Funded Dec 16, 2021Thank you so much for all of your incredibly generous donations!! We are in awe of the quantity of resources we have received in such a short amount of time, and how we were able to start a fully funded vocational program essentially from scratch. This all came to be practically over night! The gratitude that my students, the staff members, and I are all filled with cannot be properly expressed, and I am so thankful to have people in my life who are so willing to support my students and our program.
When the students saw all the donations coming in, they were hardly able to to contain their excitements. Whole classes sprang up when I asked for volunteers to help me carry the boxes from one class to the other, unload them, and start organizing their new vocational program. They were so excited about the influx of snacks that were delivered into the school, but they knew that it wasn't for them to overindulge, but for them to participate in a new program that will help them learn and grow.
My students are a mix of verbal and nonverbal communicators, some have devices and some rely solely on their gestures to express what they want, and it's so difficult sometimes to navigate their emotions and figure out what they want or need, and what they are capable of. This program is allowing every student, no matter their disability, cognitive level, or means of communication to build vocational skills to use once they leave our high school program. They are using visuals to communicate with customers, practicing money skills, and learning how to earn rewards for hard work. For that, I thank you.”

Interactive Books for Interactive Students!
Funded Apr 11, 2019Thank you so much for donating to my project! The materials supplied have greatly enhanced my therapy sessions thus far, and I anticipate that they will continue benefiting our students. The binding machine, binders, and velcro strips have helped me collaborate with teachers to create functional, educational, and quality books that support lessons in the classroom, therapy room, and the community. The students also help create the binder books, which helps them become familiar with new machinery, tools and materials that they may encounter in their futures. As a high school speech-language therapist, I aim to incorporate functional and vocational skills into the students' educational tasks to help prepare them for their future endeavors. They were so excited to see a fancy shiny new tool to use! Thank you so much again for your donations, and we are looking forward to creating new, wonderful projects here as a team at 36k.”
