My Project

The world has gradually become more attentive to the needs of individuals with disabilities. Your generosity will enable us to commence the school year with fully equipped facilities for cooking, culinary, and other related activities. Help me give my students the chance to learn important life skill lessons with storage (crate, pocket chart), power (surge protector), bowls, plates, and cups. Our students stand to gain immensely from utilizing these supplies while developing lifelong skills that will aid in their growth development. This program and its supporters have provided us with the tools to create a lifetime of success for our students. With them, our students would have access to the much-needed resources for a fulfilling and prosperous future.

Ms. Brown Hampden Elementary School 55 Grades 6-8

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
