  • Asian and Pacific Islands Heritage Games

    Funded Apr 9, 2025

    I cannot begin to state how much I appreciate the support you have provided to give my students with autism traditional games from Asia and the Pacific Islands. Your generosity will give them a meaningful and engaging way to connect with these rich cultures during Asian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month in May. Through hands-on play, they will gain cultural insights and experiences that go far beyond the classroom. I truly appreciate your kindness and the joy the games will bring to my social skills classroom.”

  • Protecting Their Voices: Screen Protectors for Communication Devices

    Funded Feb 26, 2025

    From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your kindness and generosity in supporting my students. Because of you, I was able to provide screen protectors for their communication devices—tools they rely on every day to express themselves, participate in learning, and engage with the world around them.

    These screen protectors add an essential layer of protection, reducing the risk of damage and preventing long repair times that could leave my students without a voice. Your support has truly made a difference in their daily lives, ensuring they have a consistent and reliable means of communication.

    I am beyond grateful for your generosity and the positive impact you have made. Thank you for being a part of our journey and for helping to create a more accessible and supportive learning environment for my students.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. S. Lopez
