No Longer Hungry, Ready to Strive
Funded Oct 24, 2023My heart is so full right now from your generosity. My students were so excited and filled with gratitude when they came into the classroom and so everything your donations were able to contribute to our project.
Thank you all for ensuring that these scholars will continue to be successful and that their midday hunger wouldn't play a factor in not being successful.
This project means so much to me because I have seen so many students depress, anger, frustration and down from not eating all day. I feels especially proud when I can help just one scholar to feel better and happy. My students and I are forever grateful. Thank you!”
With gratitude,

This classroom project was brought to life by A Donor Who Loves Teachers and 7 other donors.No Longer Hungry, Ready to Strive!
Funded Feb 22, 2023I would like to first just simply say THANK YOU!!! My students and I were completed blown away but your generous donotion to our class. Thank you for allowing me a chance to see pure happiness on my students' faces.
When I first heard about Donors Choose, I was nervous that people wouldn't understand the need for my project but every day I see my students come in unfocused and frustrated because they didn't have breakfast or didn't eat lunch. Those who may have ate, sometimes felt that breakfast wasn't enough, so as we carried on throughout the day they would get off track. I knew what they are capable of and my goal always was for them to do their best. I decided to put myself in their shoes; if I was hungry, could I focus on my schoolwork? I knew there was something I had to do to help.
My co-workers told me about Donor Choose because she knew I couldn't afford to feed them like I wanted to or consistently buy snacks to help nourish them. It was the BEST thing that happened to us!!!!!
Thank you again for your donation. We greatly appreciate you!”
