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

Help Special Needs Students Thrive

My students are special education learners from an inner-city school, where resources are limited, and opportunities are scarce.

Many come from low-income families, making it difficult to access the tools they need to succeed. Despite their challenges, they show incredible resilience, creativity, and determination every day.

Each student brings unique strengths and a desire to learn, even in the face of adversity. Some are non-verbal, some have significant developmental delays, but all thrive when provided with engaging, hands-on activities and personalized resources tailored to their needs.

The specific items we’re requesting will make a direct impact by:

Fostering Inclusion: Adaptive tools and sensory-friendly equipment will help all students actively participate.

Building Skills: Physical education equipment and educational resources will promote social skills, communication, and self-confidence.

Creating Opportunities: Many students lack access to enriching materials at home, so your support will provide equal opportunities for growth.

We want to create an inclusive, engaging environment where every student can achieve their full potential, grow in confidence, and develop essential life skills.

Your donation will provide critical resources that make learning fun, accessible, and meaningful for these exceptional students. Together, we can ensure they have the tools they need to succeed and build brighter futures.

Thank you for considering this opportunity to make a difference!
