This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Request for Donations for Low-Income Art Students

I am asking for support in providing art education opportunities for low-income students.

As a passionate educator in the Visual Arts Magnet program at Fairfax High School, I strongly believe that art has the power to transform lives. However, for many students, access to art supplies is very limited due to financial constraints. This disparity creates an unfair disadvantage and hinders their potential.

With your support, we can change that. By donating to my Donors Choose project, you can help empower low-income students by providing them with the necessary tools and resources for artistic growth. Your contribution will fund essential items such as art supplies, sketchbooks, easels, and so on.

Please consider donating to this Donors Choose project today. Your contribution, no matter how big or small, will make a lasting impact on the lives of these deserving students. Together, we can create a world where art is accessible for all, regardless of their socioeconomic status.
