My Project

My students are bright, curious, and full of potential—but sometimes, they face challenges that have nothing to do with schoolwork. Many of them come to school without access to basic hygiene items like deodorant.

With your support, I can provide them with these essentials so they can feel fresh, confident, and ready to learn.

A little goes a long way when students feel good about themselves, it shows in their focus, participation, and self-esteem.

Your generosity can help make school a place where they feel safe, cared for, and ready to shine. Thank you for helping us meet this very real, everyday need!
