My Project

We are seeking support to provide essential self-care materials for our students with severe cognitive disabilities.

Our goal is to enhance the daily lives of these students by equipping them with tools that promote self-care and independence.

Specifically, we are in need of toenail clippers, Skintimate Skin Therapy Moisturizing Shave Gel for Women, shoelacing materials, and filing organizers.

These materials play a crucial role in developing and maintaining our students' self-care skills. The toenail clippers and shave gel contribute to personal grooming routines, fostering a sense of autonomy. Shoelacing materials are essential for improving fine motor skills and supporting the development of dressing abilities. Filing organizers aid in promoting organizational skills and a structured environment.

We believe that with the right tools, our students can achieve greater independence and confidence in their self-care routines. Your support in providing these materials will make a significant impact on the well-being and development of our students with severe cognitive disabilities.
