Refrigeration Warriors

Help me give my students a brand new refrigerator. Currently, our kitchen equipment is inoperable and we have not been able to cook due to the lack of refrigeration.

My Project

Hello, my name is Ms. Whitehead and I teach Culinary Arts. I'm reaching out to you today with a humble request for your support. I am a firm believer in self-sufficiency and have always been hesitant to ask for assistance. However, I've reached a point where I have no other viable options. I am dedicated to working hard and improving my class, but at this moment, I need a helping hand to get us back on our feet. Your support can make a significant difference in my class.

Currently, our kitchen is inoperable and all of the equipment has to be replaced.

However, since this is a Title I school, we are not provided with enough funding to get our students the equipment needed for this course.

Your contributions to a commercial refrigerator will be instrumental in my classroom.

Please consider making a donation, and if you're unable to contribute financially, simply sharing this campaign with your network can make a world of difference. Thank you for being a part of this journey with us.
