My Project

As winter approaches, I am embarking on a heartfelt mission to bring warmth and joy to the lives of children in my community. Many of my students come to school without proper winter attire. My goal for this project is to provide children in need with custom winter gear.

Every child deserves to experience the joy of winter without the worry of staying warm, and your support can make this possible.

I will use the Light Pad to create custom designs to apply to winter hats, scarves, and gloves. Every contribution, big or small, will make a difference in a child's life. I believe that together, we can create a winter filled with warmth, laughter, and fun.
