My Project

I work in a transition program with 18-21 year old students that have disabilities and are learning to become more independent young adults. As part of this, they are managing more of their own daily routines, including hygiene and sometimes need travel items due to forgetting.

Having hygiene items with them for convenience will support the students in their employment and relationship goals and feeling more confident.

The deodorant, body wash, shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, and laundry soap in more travel and single form will be available for students to use as they need. The students are trying to be more independent in the community so having items as they are mobile between work, home, family, and friends, will allow for them to manage their hygiene and keep their routines.

Ms. O'Meara Focus Beyond Transition Services Grades 9-12

At this school, more than 50% of students are Black, Latino, and/or Native American, and more than 50% come from low-income households. Learn how your donation to this school supports a more equitable education.
