My Project

As the winter season vastly approaches, with your help we want to start a special initiative called "Operation Stay warm" for our community to ensure everyone in our community stay warm during these months. Many of our community are facing financial hardship and need assistance with securing essential winter accessories such as hats, scarfs, and gloves.

Your support can make a significant difference in the lives of those in need.

By donating, you can help protect vulnerable students and families and allow them to stay safe, healthy and comfortable throughout the winter.
