  • Uniform Shirts 4 All!

    Funded Aug 11, 2020

    Wow!! So many uniform shirts!! They'll be given to the students when they are out of uniform. Most of the time it is because they didn't get to do laundry! Now they'll have one less thing to worry about! Thank you so much for helping this project come to life! It means so much to me and more importantly to the students!

    We will also be able to make decals for them with our school logo. How cool is that!?! A free uniform shirt that says Green Wave!

    Thank you again, truly appreciate the donation. I am so happy for the students.”

  • Just Mercy 4 All!

    Funded Sep 4, 2020

    Just Mercy is a wonderful soul wrenching novel. I was so excited to see that they made it for teenagers or young adults. I knew my students would want to read it. We were able to see the movie together and many were interested in reading the book. Now I have a lot of copies to share for each class in the School of Social Justice academy which is a part of my school. The teachers are very grateful. I'm also very grateful to everyone that helped fund this project. Thank you again for helping me share this very important novel.”

  • Laptop 4 Music

    Funded Jul 17, 2020

    When I decided to do a project for yet another MacBook I didn't think it would ever get funded. This one was going to a special student that will go far in life. All were funded so I am relieved.

    I had this one mailed right to their house, so mom took the pictures. She was so surprised!!! They didn't have the model in stock so I was able to get AirPods too! School is 100%?online, so it was perfect!

    They are so super grateful. The mom is so happy and relieved that she doesn't have to worry about having to buy one. Thanks again so much! xoxo”

  • Dorm Room Basics #1

    Funded Jul 17, 2020

    We did it! Sent another student off to the dorms with everything she needed to fill it! A beautiful comforter set, a dorm fridge, desk light, shower caddy full of everything, bath towels. She even received a rug. So grateful for the help and she is doing great in all of her classes.

    Thank you again for making this opportunity come to life for her! We really helped her in a time of need. Going to college is very expensive. So we helped cut a few costs for her for items needed to have a successful school year!

  • Multicultural Books 4 All

    Funded May 6, 2020

    Words can't describe how thankful I am for these new books! I can not wait for the students to keep reading them when they return to school. These books are diverse just like our school and they will make a difference. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for supporting my library with boxes and boxes of new books. What a great addition they are going to be to our outdated fiction section. These are books that the students want to read and have asked for. Books about real world problems that many of them face or know about. Thank you again, it is truly appreciated”

  • Sending 2020 Grads off to College PART 2

    Funded Jul 17, 2020

    Thank you so much for making this project a reality. The students are set for when they go away to college. They will all do well and are amazing kids! The financial burden is lifted of mostly everything they need for their dorm rooms! The high powerful desk fan was something no one expected and it was much appreciated! You all are angels and the help is greatly appreciated by them.

    Thank you again so very much!

    Let's all hope school is back in session in September. Much love! Stay safe! xoxo”

  • Keeping Hot in College

    Funded Jun 14, 2020

    We have microwaves!!! As soon as I saw a 3X match for grads, I knew I had to help them! Each one was so excited and the parents were so grateful. I was able to see the grads too, which was awesome! It was nice to forget about all the troubles in the world for a little bit. I knew this was a big item they need to bring and now is one less thing the family needs to purchase. Lives are changed in such a positive way with Donorschoose. I love helping bring smiles to faces even if they are behind masks! xoxo”

  • Keeping Clean in College

    Funded Jun 11, 2020

    We have loofahs! We have Dove! We have shower caddies! The grads that received the shower caddy were so excited! I was able to add other items from previous projects. The Dove is perfect as it comes with a pump. They loved the set of 3 loofahs too. It was nice to see smiles and forget everything that is going on for a while. They each came to my house for pick up. It was really awesome to see them as I haven't since March!

    Thank you for helping make this project come to life! Each graduate was very thankful. xoxo”

My students come from a wide range of backgrounds. 80% of the students in my school receive free & reduced lunch. They love to learn and are often first-generation high school graduates. I am even more thrilled when they graduate from college and often help them apply. Some may choose to work after graduating which is also great. As long as they are living their best life and are happy. Happiness is what counts and is key to a great future. I am very fortunate to work with wonderful students every day.
