Creating Home

Funded Nov 22, 2024

On behalf of our school community, we sincerely thank you for your generosity in supporting our project to provide hygiene "go bags" for middle school scholars in temporary housing. This school year, we have seen 10 scholars transition into shelter or other forms of temporary housing, and having these essential hygiene kits readily available has allowed us to respond immediately to their concrete needs. Your contributions have made a meaningful difference in ensuring that these students feel supported and cared for during a challenging time in their lives.

Beyond meeting basic hygiene needs, these "go bags" have also played a crucial role in reducing attendance concerns. Many scholars in temporary housing face financial barriers that can prevent them from accessing adequate hygiene products, which can, in turn, lead to school absences. By providing these necessities, you have helped remove one of the many obstacles these students face, allowing them to attend school with confidence and focus on their education.

Additionally, your support has enabled our school to maximize our budget, allowing us to provide seasonal clothing and other financial assistance that would have otherwise been limited. Because of you, we have been able to stretch our resources further and offer ebem more comprehensive support to our scholars in need. Your kindness and generosity have made a lasting impact, and we are incredibly grateful for your commitment to the well-being and success of our scholars. Thank you for making a difference!”

With gratitude,

Ms. Melendez
