I have created this fundraising project to help supply basic needs such as winter coats, air mattresses, sleeping bags, and hygiene products for homeless middle school students in a very high-needs MPS Middle School. Our student demographic consists of over 95% low-income families, and even the families who are fortunate enough to have stable housing find it hard to purchase and maintain warm winter clothing, bedding, and hygiene products on a consistent basis for their children. We are humbly requesting basic essentials such as winter coats, air mattresses and sleeping bags (for those without beds), hygiene products such as deodorant and feminine pads, and more to help our homeless youth have a greater chance at succeeding in school. These students already handle a great deal of stress, including wondering where they may sleep at night, when their next meal may be, or if they have a bed to sleep in at night. This project will allow us to remove some of the burdens they face while experiencing homelessness, and give them a greater chance to focus on their academics like their peers who have stable homes.
