Funded Mar 25, 2025Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your generosity and support. Because of you, my office in the South Bronx now has a cozy, welcoming chair that's become a powerful tool for comfort, connection, and healing.
When the chair first arrived, my students immediately noticed the difference. One of them walked in, sat down, and said, "Whoa!!!!." That small moment said it all. The look on their face—surprised, and visibly more at ease—was a reminder of how the simplest comforts can have a big emotional impact.
Since then, the chair has become the spot where students open up. Whether they're talking through family stress, navigating friendships, or working through grief or anxiety, having a soft, supportive seat to settle into has changed the tone of our conversations. One student even said, "It feels like I'm not at school anymore in this chair. I can actually think."
Your donation has helped transform my office from just a room into a safe space. A place where tough exteriors soften, and students start to feel like it's okay to be vulnerable.”
With gratitude,
Ms. Singer
