This project is about being able to supply students with basic needs and never having to feel embarrassed about it. Some need hygiene products, food, clothes, and basic school supplies. Instead of questioning my students, why they don't have their pencils, paper, etc., I can just give it to them without any questions. I want them to know that I won't allow the littlest things keep them from getting their education. It's hurts to see a student who wants to give it their all and they need these items, and they don't have them and when I pull them aside, sometimes the stories end in their parents just not having the money to get it because they're just trying to keep a roof over their heads.
