Help me give my students cough drops to provide short-term relief from symptoms of an upper-respiratory-tract infection -- such as the common cold, the flu or a chest cold.

Celebrating 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 Students
Most of our students come from low-income households and do not have access to life essentials such as hygiene products and food. Because America's racial and ethnic minorities are the fastest-growing sectors in the country and they make up a disproportionately large segment of the economically poor population, tending to their educational needs is in everyone's interest. The level of their educational achievements will dramatically affect the future of our nation.
Our students are so resilient and bright, but sometimes they aren't able to focus in class because they experience tremendous amounts of trauma and stress.
I work at the Wellness Center, and I am a Community Health Outreach Worker. I often see students struggle with stress, illness, and depression due to things happening in their homes and in their communities. I am committed to providing a safe, clean, and comfortable space for all students.
My experience with DonorsChoose.org and sponsors has been very positive and I hope to continue using this site as a bridge between my students and those out there who would like to be part of this amazing opportunity that takes place every day in our school.
My Project
Coughing can be very uncomfortable and be distracting for students. Coughing is the body's way of removing foreign substances and mucus from your lungs and upper airway passages. Sometimes, though, coughs are severe enough to impair breathing or prevent rest.
The requested Cough Drops can help reduce coughing and soothe sore throats.
The active ingredient in Halls is menthol, and some varieties also contain eucalyptus oil. Both act as local anesthetics and pain relievers. Some products also contain vitamin C as well that also helps in relieving the symptoms of a cold. Most cold symptoms may go away after a few days. A cough, though, can hang around for weeks because viruses can cause the airways to become swollen and oversensitive.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
