Snacks for the Future
Funded Jan 27, 2022We can not thank you enough for proving our students with snacks . It became our energy fuel for the long college application process. We spent long sessions to fill out both college & job applications. Our Seniors are lucky to have your support. It really does take a Village. I often example to them how donors choose supports and works. They are appreciative of the endless community support. They are inspired to give back to their school for years to come. We spent time after school hours making sure applications were completed. It was a great help to provide them snacks.
They come so far this year and especially graduating during the global pandemic. This past month we celebrated their post secondary plans. Good memories for them to take with them. Thank you for making this possible for my office and my work.”

Class of 2021 Approaching the Finish Line
Funded Jun 10, 2021Thank you for taking the time to support my vision. We wanted to send care packages to graduating seniors as they worked towards obtaining their high school diplomas during remote learning. With your help we did just that!!
We sent them hope, we sent them smiles, we sent them encouragement. By sending journals to the students , we created a space for them to express their thoughts, their fears and most importantly their dreams.
Time away from daily school routines took a toll on many students in a way that was unexpected. With your support we provided them with a healthy outlet to let them persevere and overcome. Achieving their diploma during the Covid pandemic will leave an everlasting impression on them and on educators like myself.”
