My Project

Aloha,

Our beloved school was lost in the Lahaina wildfire.

Our school is moving to our next temporary location on April 1st. We were just able to tour the campus and realized the students will not have anywhere to put their backpacks and jackets. It rains a lot up north so we will need to put the backpacks inside.

We are not able to put hooks on the walls, so we need the freestanding backpack storage cart.

Thank you for your consideration in donating to this project. I really appreciate the support!
