A Safe Space for Diverse Voices-Espacio Seguro Para Voces Diversas
Funded Sep 12, 2024I am so grateful for your generosity and the incredible impact it has made on my students. Your contributions have transformed my office into a space where students feel comforted, welcomed, and safe, a true sanctuary during challenging times.
Many of my students face the daily reality of homelessness, often living in temporary rooms without the joy of personalizing their space or experiencing the warmth of holiday traditions. With your support, they were able to rediscover these moments of joy. Decorating the office with crafts and setting up a Christmas tree brought smiles and laughter, allowing them to feel a sense of belonging and creativity that many hadn't experienced in years.
One of the highlights for my students has been the lamp you helped provide. They love coming into the office to relax under its cozy light, finding an escape where they feel at peace. It has become a favorite spot for reflection and connection. The Spanish affirmations displayed in the space have also been a wonderful addition, resonating deeply with my students and reminding them of their strength and resilience.
Thanks to your kindness, my students have been able to create memories, find comfort, and feel truly seen and supported. On behalf of all of us, thank you for making such a meaningful difference in their lives.”

Funded Apr 6, 2023The day the teacher received the refrigerator, he was pleasantly surprised by everyone's kindness, as it was an unexpected gift. All the students participated in a countdown to turn on the fridge and microwave. Moreover, the teacher involved the students in the decision-making process of the best location to accommodate both appliances. Since that day, every morning, the students put their homemade lunches inside the fridge and use the microwave. The students' bond with their teacher improved as they started to appreciate and understand that their teacher cared about them and always went the extra mile to meet their needs.
Thanks to the collaboration, all the materials that were purchased proved to be very useful. The students enjoyed using them, and I was able to explore their interests through these materials. They created some beautiful things during those closing sessions, and I will always treasure everything they made for me. As an intern, I truly appreciated everyone's effort and collaboration to meet this project's goal. My experience at this placement was amazing. I learned a lot, and this project taught me that kindness can create beautiful things. Todos crecemos juntos. Gracias.”
