  • Bring Legos to Homeless Youth

    Funded Feb 20, 2025

    I am deeply sorry for the loss to your community. My deepest sympathy for the loss of your team leaders husband. I am honored to be touched by his legacy through this amazing gift. His memory will be shared through the play of my students and his impact will mean so much to my kids.

    My school is in south queens. We are located within less then 2 miles of 4 family shelters. 1 being the largest family shelter in NYC. My students have very little when living in one room with all their family members. Legos can be pricey and many of my students do not get to own legos. Having our classroom have legos builds so many skills, such as the skills to become an architect. I hope my children can dream to be an architect.

    Thank you for your gift. I am deeply saddened by the loss in which this gift has come our way but please know that his memory has touched the lives of very special children. My prayers are with your team leader and her family during this difficult time.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Nelle

  • Give our school a safe space.

    Funded Dec 7, 2023

    Words can not express how thankful for all the help you have given our school. During a time where our homeless population continues to grow we appreciate all the support we can get. The books will add to our library; the social emotional games will add to our resources so that we can continue to make steps to support these children during a vulnerable time.

    The books have already been read to our classes. The kids love holding and touching the stuffys that match the books. The yoga mat and game has been very interactive. Having these interactive and tactile objects allows our social emotional lessons to reach a new level of understanding for our youth.

    Please know we are grateful for your support, our schools population is close to 50% homeless and predominantly low income. Your support means the world.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Nelle
