My Project

Support Our Classroom for Autistic Students: Help Us Provide Essential Tools for Growth and Development

Our classroom is home to six incredible children with autism who bring joy, curiosity, and unique perspectives to each day.

Located in a low-income community, our program often faces challenges in accessing the resources our students need to thrive. With your help, we can bridge that gap and provide the support that makes a real difference in their growth and learning.

We are seeking donations to supply our classroom with sensory items, iPads, manipulatives, and engaging toys that enhance learning in ways that are tailored to our students’ unique needs. Sensory items help them manage sensory sensitivities and encourage calm, focus, and self-regulation. iPads allow us to access educational apps that make learning fun and interactive, while manipulatives and toys promote hands-on learning, motor skills, and cognitive development.

Your contribution, no matter the size, will go directly toward creating a nurturing and supportive environment for these students. Every donation helps us build a classroom where they can reach their full potential, one sensory item, iPad, or learning tool at a time.

Thank you for considering a donation to help our students grow, explore, and succeed.
