Bring Light to Our Future!

Help me give my students light up their futures! Our kiddos would benefit from having lights within the classroom and sensory space that are not the harsh overhead lights. Sometimes that can be overstimulating for them.

  • Hygiene Essentials for Confident Kiddos

    Funded Jan 20, 2025

    On behalf of our students and staff, I want to express our deepest gratitude for your generous donation of hygiene products, especially the hair care items designed for diverse hair types. Your kindness has made a tremendous impact on our school community.

    Every day, students come to the office eager to have their hair cared for, and it is truly heartwarming to witness the transformation that takes place—not just in their appearance, but in their confidence and overall mood. Something as simple as having the right hair products and a little extra care can turn their entire day around. They walk out of the office smiling, standing taller, and ready to take on the day with a renewed sense of pride.

    Your support goes beyond just providing necessities—it gives our students a sense of dignity and self-worth. Thank you for helping us create a nurturing environment where every child feels valued, seen, and cared for. We appreciate you more than words can express.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. K

  • Clothed in Confidence

    Funded Feb 14, 2025

    On behalf of our students and staff, I want to extend our heartfelt gratitude for your support in providing clothing in all sizes. Your generosity has made a meaningful impact on our school community.

    Having access to a variety of clothing options has been incredibly helpful, especially for students who experience unexpected accidents, arrive with soiled clothes, or face socioeconomic challenges. These resources allow our students to feel comfortable, confident, and ready to focus on learning without the added stress of their clothing situation.

    Your kindness and commitment to meeting the needs of our students do not go unnoticed. Thank you for making a difference in their daily lives and for being such a valued part of our community.”

  • Long Lasting Materials for Loving Kids

    Funded Dec 3, 2024

    We sincerely appreciate the generous gift of a laminator, sleeves, and durable materials! These resources have made a lasting impact on our students by providing long-lasting learning tools that can be used time and time again. The durability ensures that visual aids, interactive activities, and student work remain intact, helping to create a more engaging and effective learning environment. Your support truly makes a difference, and we are grateful for your kindness! It has been so helpful to have the materials be durable even in times of kiddos being dysregulated and potentially attempting to destroy materials.”

  • Organization For The Future Generation!

    Funded Mar 7, 2025

    Thank you for donating to our kiddos and helping us to organize their items and attend to their hygienic needs. We appreciate you greatly as the better our kiddos look the better they feel. We love being able to instill confidence in them and you have done a lot to help with that!”

  • Printed Change

    Funded Nov 3, 2024

    Thank you for helping our class create colorful charts and materials that are lasting due to the ability to laminate them. The children respond so much better with color because it helps them to differentiate and express their moods in different ways. We have been enabled to make charts for behavioral tracking that our students can maintain themselves due to the items donated with this project. Our kiddos love seeing things in color and enjoy how durable everything is. It is nice that they can have a tough moment and not have to worry about permanently destroying something which gives them the opportunity to fix it which makes them feel better. Words cannot express the value of these items for our program. Thank you so much!”

  • Snacks for Spectacular Students

    Funded Dec 31, 2024

    Thank you so much for helping keep our kiddos fueled as we go into the second half of our school year! My class and I are very grateful and appreciate all that you have done for us. I know that feeding my kiddos bodies will help feed and fuel their minds!”

  • Self-regulation Sensation!

    Funded Sep 14, 2024

    The children loved working on this project! We got to watch Inside Out and discussed how we need all of our feelings to make up who we are. We were then able to use the provided materials to create sensory bottles that included many different pieces including sparkles, foam balls, food coloring, etc. which showed the students that they can make a tool for themselves to use when dysregulated and affirmed that you need all of the parts to make a beautiful whole. This lesson was invaluable, thank you!”

  • Weighted Blankets for Weighed Down Youth

    Funded Feb 6, 2024

    This was honestly amazing! The weighted blankets and therapy lights really propelled our student's success this winter! They were excited to utilize the materials provided and demonstrated this through asking for them and using their healthy coping skills on their own. We were so excited to be able to provide each classroom with a weighted blanket which made it easier than them sharing one.

    Additionally, the sound machine assisted in protecting our student's privacy during meetings and personal conversations. We were also able to use it on a regular basis to provide peaceful sounds to assist students in regulating when needed. Lastly, the stuffed heat up Axolotls were perfect for the students to use for comfort and motivated them as they LOVE axolotls. We were able to provide them with the pop-it games to keep their minds sharp but also because they were used as something to earn time on and/or to help engage a student in mindfulness and practice that skill. We are more grateful than words could ever express! Thank you, thank you, thank you!”

  • Artistic Tools in a Therapeutic Space

    Funded Sep 20, 2023

    My students LOVE the items they have been given. They now have a functional and private area to calm and practice their coping skills when upset. They are using the resources given in their social emotional groups, have their own journals to use for group and personal practice and implementation of coping skills, and tools to color with. They are working on their responsibility with keeping items for themselves an enjoy having things of their own.

    It's been a wonderful experience with them having resources without needing to share them. We have also had grand success with each student with sofa, tent, and weighted blanket when providing a space away from others to vent and feel safe. They have also enjoyed having tools to purposely choose in order to regulate. I will never be able to thank everyone enough but my kiddos created some thank you cards to show their gratitude!”
