    Thank you so much for your donations. Your generosity has given our students a book binding machine. They are in the process of writing and publishing their books. This is all possible because of you and your donation to my project. It is so important for our students to learn all of the components of writing and be able to use their imagination. The students are excited about their writings. They are doing the necessary work to be better writers. We are excited about what is to come.

    Thank you again for making this project a reality.”

  • Snack Attack Part 2

    Funded May 3, 2022

    What can I say....you are amazing. It is people like you that makes the world better. Your donations provided snacks for students at my school. I was able to give snacks to students I work with and those I do not work directly with. Your generosity made a difference on a daily basis. I can not thank you enough.

    Some of our students either eat lunch early or late. That leads to them being hungry while trying to learn. Thanks to you, I was able to help with that by providing them with snacks to help them get through the day.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you”
