  • Winter Coasts for my Students in Temporary Housing

    Funded Nov 2, 2020

    My students and I are indebted to you for your generosity. It has been a cold, often unpleasant NYC winter. Couple the harsh winter with the cloud of COVID, and your generosity served to warm their hearts as well as their bodies.

    Students and their guardians were excited to receive their new, stylish coats. Parents were thorough and sincere in their expressions of gratitude. Being relieved of one financial worry helped parents whose burdens otherwise are many.

    We're all happy for the imminent arrival of spring. This winter, however, for all of its challenges, was far more bearable thanks to your generosity. For that, we offer you our deepest thanks.”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Lenihan

  • Winter Coats For My Students in Temporary Housing

    Funded Nov 11, 2019

    Thank you so very much for so generously contributing to my Donors Choose project. Because of your generosity, my students were able to keep warm during this cold New York City winter, and their parents were relieved of a significant financial burden.

    My students' parents were so moved when they learned that their child would be receiving a new coat. One parent who was offered a coat as her child was being enrolled at our school said, "I can't believe how nice this school is! No school is this nice!" I explained to her that we benefited from the kindness of others who generously donated the coats to the school.

    Students were so excited to come into my office and try and their new coats. The child whose mother I mentioned above exclaimed, "Mommy, mommy—look!" Her excitement was uncontainable.

    Please know that our school was a happier, warmer place this winter because of your generosity. My students, their parents, and I will never forget your kindness.”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Lenihan

For our students in temporary housing, sometimes basic necessities such as quality winter coats can be difficult to obtain. When students do not have proper attire for the cold winter months, they become more susceptible to illness and, in turn, poor attendance. Furthermore, being attired in a new, good-looking jacket will enhance self-esteem, which lends itself to improved academic performance. A quality winter coat will not only serve as physical protection from the cold, but will also bolster my students' feelings of self-worth and belonging. It will allow them to focus on matters that are age-appropriate, and it will alleviate one burden faced by their parents.
