My Project

As the colder months approach, the need for warm clothing becomes increasingly urgent, especially for children in lower-income areas of our community. Many families face difficult choices during the winter, often prioritizing necessities over adequate clothing. This is where we can make a meaningful difference together.

Please join me in a project close to my heart: providing coats for children who most need them.

We want to ensure that no child in our school has to endure the cold without proper protection. By donating to this initiative, you will not only provide physical warmth but also a sense of security and dignity for these young learners. We also need tissues and disinfecting wipes to keep us healthy.
