My Project

I love my students for their resilience, curiosity, and potential to grow into amazing individuals, and I’m committed to supporting them every step of the way. Many of them face daily challenges, and the self-care cart serves as a resource to help them feel confident, clean, and cared for. Donations of hygiene and self-care items, including deodorant, oral hygiene products, and feminine hygiene products not only meet practical needs but also send a powerful message that they deserve to prioritize themselves. When students feel valued and cared for, they’re more likely to engage fully, focus on their learning, and develop a positive self-image. Every item donated helps reinforce that school is a safe space where they’re encouraged to nurture their self-worth and take pride in who they are.
