Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

We are seeking a generous donation to create a dedicated space where children can come to cool off, unwind, and take a much-needed break from their daily routines. In our community, many kids lack a safe and comfortable place to rest during hot weather or after long school days. Our goal is to provide a welcoming, cool environment where kids can relax, socialize, and engage in fun, healthy activities. This space will be fully equipped with recreational amenities like books, games, and crafts, ensuring that kids have a peaceful, rejuvenating space to call their own. Your support will help us create a much-needed refuge, fostering both physical and mental well-being for children in our community. Your donation will make a lasting impact, offering a place of comfort, safety, and joy to countless kids in need of a break.
