My Project

Every day someone always gets hurt or sick. That is just the world in which we live. We have an advantage compared to years ago which is modern medicine. We get a cold. We go to the doctor and get checked out and usually receive medicine. We get cut by a knife, and we can go find first aid cream and a band-aid. We have many tools at our finger tips.

Many of my families do not have the money to spend on materials to make even a basic first aid kit.

They are struggling to make ends meet. Additionally, they are trying to work with their child from home. When a child falls and skins his knee riding a bike, they need a band-aid. If a child runs into a door because they weren't paying attention, they might need ice pack. With this project, I am providing each student's household with a first aid kit. This will allow them to efficiently and promptly deal with injuries in a manner allowing the child to heal.
