Activity: Writing with "The Perfect Pen"
Funded Dec 13, 2024What a wonderful surprise to see that this is funded just as we are in the final stretch before winter break. By the start of next semester, we can do this activity again with a whole new group of students. If even one of them changes their mind about writing, it will be a win (but I bet it will be a whole bunch more!) Thank you for your generosity!”

Inviting & Comfortable Night-School Space for Some Deserving Kids!
Funded Oct 17, 2024We did it! The funding of this set of comfortable furniture will go such a long way to making this space what it needs to be to support these kids, and to support me and the other staff of our program in engaging them! I am truly thankful to know so many generous souls, and to have the universe bring me some friends I've never even met to make this happen! I can't wait to send you the photos of it when it's all set up and running!”

Project Vine Alternative High School Supplies
Funded Jan 12, 2024The supplies that we received have been essential in helping to keep some of our most vulnerable young people in high school!
We have 52 students in the Project Vine program, most of whom are living in poverty, facing insecurity with housing and food. To come to school and know there will be basic amenities like a hot cup of coffee and feminine hygiene supplies, and small comforts like juice boxes, crackers and applesauce, means so much to these students, and so much to the staff who have always come out of pocket to make sure they had these things.
Your donation made sure that these things were in large supply when they were needed, and as one of those staff members trying to stretch what we can to help as many of them as possible, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart!
The students take part in a "work day," twice a year, cleaning, beautifying and personalizing our space to make it feel more like home, and to help them feel more ownership over the space. Their pride in cleaning and stocking their own bathroom, as well as organizing our supplies from this order, was palpable and a wonderful opportunity for them to say "thank you," through their actions, and their smiles, if not their words as well.”
With gratitude,
