I have seen students wear the same shirt and pants every single day. I have seen students wear the same shoes and the shoe on the left foot did not match the shoe on the right. These same students get bullied and ridiculed for smelling bad and never changing clothes. What can a student in middle school do if they don't have any money to buy new clothes or basic hygiene products? Students don't choose to be born poor. We can intervene. I want to create a "secret closet" for students to access basic necessities.
