Hurricane Sandy destroyed the homes of many students at our school. As teachers, we've joined forces to help make things a little bit easier during this time of tragedy and loss. Won't you please contribute to our efforts to provide our students with basic necessities as they begin to rebuild?
Our students are a diverse population, but they have one thing in common - many lived right on the beaches of NYC, where Hurricane Sandy did the most damage.
They've been without power for a while and many are staying in temporary housing, as their buildings are unsafe and without heat and hot water. Our students need healthy, non-perishable food items like soups, cereal bars and trail mix to help get them through the next few weeks and months as their families begin to rebuild. Many we're left with nothing and have no kitchen, so even a simple task, like cooking a meal is difficult and their families need foods that are quick and easy to prepare.
My Project
Your generous donation will make life a little bit easier for a teenager during the struggle to rebuild after Hurricane Sandy. Perhaps a hungry student will be able to focus in class and stay on target thanks to the breakfast bar provided through your donation. One less young person will have to worry about where their next meal will come from. Please- help us help them. Thank you.
This project will make a difference because it will provide students, who have suffered greatly over the last few weeks, with a basic necessity - food.
Without the basics, kids just can't learn in a classroom. Your help is greatly appreciated.
