Hello Potential Donor! Thank you for reviewing my welcome message. I am an elementary education teacher of twenty six second graders at a public school in Chicago. As many know, Chicago Public Schools is experiencing dramatic budget cuts this year that has directly impacted our students resources. Basic necessities that would dramatically improve the learning environment of my students are lacking and I know that Donors like you will assist me in covering the resource gap that these students have sadly been handed. Your donation truly makes a difference in this difficult time. My students show up eager to learn and motivated to reach their fullest potential and donors like you are a crucial part in bridging the resource gap that exists in urban schools. Thank you for your support!
