My Project

I would like to create a safe, comfortable space for my classroom where counseling can be in its most peaceful and comfortable atmosphere. I want to provide such a space that my students are able to feel at peace. We don't have a space on campus that they can come and relax while they get counseling or the therapy they need. I want to provide my students an stress-free atmosphere where they can walk into my classroom feeling that they are at peace. First, I would need comfortable furniture and I truly can't afford any of these. But with your help you can make this possible. We are asking for a Lakeshore couch and beanbag chairs. You can help me provide a safe comfortable environment for my students. Your donations and contributions are allowing this to happen and I will take anything. Please help me to make this possible by donating to our project.
