My Project

As a school counselor, I see firsthand the challenges many of our students face, including hunger and a lack of basic necessities. Too often, students come to school without breakfast, a snack to sustain them through the day, or even a warm jacket to protect them from the cold. Additionally, hygiene essentials like deodorant can make a significant difference in a student's confidence and well-being. These unmet needs can impact their ability to focus, learn, and thrive in the classroom. That’s why I am reaching out to ask for support in providing snacks, deodorant, and warm jackets to ensure our students feel comfortable, cared for, and ready to succeed.

Your generosity can help us create a nurturing environment where students don’t have to worry about being cold, hungry, or self-conscious about hygiene.

A simple snack can fuel their minds, a warm coat can keep them safe during the winter months, and access to hygiene products can boost their self-esteem. With your support, we can remove these barriers to learning and help every student feel valued and prepared for success. Thank you for considering a donation to make a meaningful difference in our students' lives!
