My Project

I am reaching out to request funding for personal care items, including deodorant and body spray, for my students. I teach in a Title I district, and many of my students come from low-income families. For some of our students, access to basic hygiene products is limited, and these personal care items can significantly improve their comfort and well-being throughout the school day.

As a special education teacher, I work closely with students who may face additional challenges in managing personal care routines.

Having deodorant and body spray available would not only help them maintain personal hygiene but also boost their confidence and comfort, allowing them to focus on learning rather than feeling self-conscious about their appearance.

Your support in providing these items would make a huge difference in the lives of my students. Thank you so much for considering this request, and for helping to ensure that every student feels supported and cared for in the classroom. Your generosity truly means the world to us.
