Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

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 Students

I teach ESL and Technology to 90 students in sixth, seventh and eighth grade. So many of my kids struggle with the basics and it's hard to imagine in this school, but many of my students are caught in an uncomfortable place.

Many of my kids' families are stuck where they are getting by, but expensive items like glasses simply have to wait - or never happen at all.

Every day, I see kids whose glasses are poor quality, many years old or they don't have them. These kids are struggling and left behind - many have never gotten a checkup at all.

My Project

I simply couldn’t believe it.

I was reading with one of my star students, a young girl who, in the last few months, has taken leaps forward in her reading: she was staring at the posters across the room and squinting.

Oh no, I thought. How did I miss her? Ten kids in this class have glasses!

“Mister,” she said. I knew what was coming. “Can you read those posters?”

It boils down to this sad, but true reality - many of my students cannot see and their parents cannot afford to buy them eyeglasses. This project is going to literally give sight to thirty amazingly deserving students who struggle everyday, more than they should have to, just because they can't see. This project will provide for an eye exam and a pair of Warby Parker eyeglasses (free AND stylish ones) for each student that needs them.

If this project is fully funded, thirty kids who couldn't see yesterday, will be able to see tomorrow.

It is as plain and simple as that. Thirty kids who already are wonderful students will have their school and home lives infinitely approved. I don't think any words can put into context how critical this is. By donating to this project, you will be providing the gift of sight to over two dozen deserving, hard-working individuals.
