My Project

As we begin a new semester, my Life Skills students are eager to continue developing the essential skills they need to navigate daily life and build independence. These skills—whether related to personal finance, cooking, communication, or time management—are critical for their future success. However, to truly engage and empower my students, we need your support to provide essential supplies for hands-on learning and life readiness activities.

My students come from a variety of backgrounds, and many lack access to the tools and resources needed to develop these critical life skills.

Your generous donation will help ensure they have everything they need to build confidence, learn practical skills, and thrive as they move forward in life.
