Healthy Hygiene for Healthy Kids!

Funded Apr 8, 2022

I would like to thank you for helping supply students with basic needs. So the kids come to me when they need supplies, I do not just hand them out to kids. Some of our students do not have the basic needs at home and get embarrassed to come to school because they do not have any soap to wash their clothes. I did give a student some soap and toilet paper and she was very happy because she was able to do laundry.

I just know that it is hard for students who have to worry how they are going to eat or even get clean clothes, kids are very mean in school and if they come to school with dirty or smelly clothes then they get made fun of, that is what I want to prevent. I want them to come to school with little to no worries. So I did this project so I can do just that. They need to focus on their education and not everything else that is going on.

My next project that I have in mind is getting clothes, socks, shoes and underwear for kids who's families that cannot afford them. I have a ton of kiddos who come to school with holes in their shoes or no socks on. Yet again it is just basic needs for these kids. I also want to get incentives for kids who make it to school. In our school district we have kids who struggle to get themselves up and to school. A kinder or 1st grader should not have that huge responsibility but yet they do. I want to get things for them that they will be excited about and show them that they are cared for and we are happy that they are there. I thank you again for supporting my cause.”
