My Project

We have an amazing group of students in our program that are aged 14-22.

This project is to purchase a sofa bed, sheet set, and pillows so that my students can be even more independent.

These items will allow students to practice making the bed, washing and changing sheets, and more to support them in becoming the best and most independent individuals they can be. Independent living skills are so important to my students because it gives them dignity, give them a point of pride in their abilities, and support those supporting their care.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
