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

I am a teacher at a school in a high-poverty community. Many of my students come to school hungry and without basic hygiene supplies. This makes it difficult for them to focus on their education and achieve their full potential.

We are hoping to provide food and hygiene products to students.

The goal is to support them with these items so they feel ready to learn and minimize issues of resource scarcity. With your support, we can make a real difference in the lives of these children.

How to Help:

Your donation will make a big difference in the lives of my students. Thank you for your support!
