Help me give my students a great start to the new school year. First semester needs!

My Project

As we prepare for a new school year, I’m reaching out with a heartfelt request on behalf of my students. Many of them are facing challenges beyond the classroom—challenges that make even the most basic school necessities out of reach.

From backpacks and notebooks to clean uniforms and hygiene items, these essentials are critical to helping students feel confident and prepared to learn.

Without them, the start of school can feel overwhelming and discouraging.

That’s why I’m asking for your support. Your donation—no matter the size—can make a meaningful difference. It can provide a child with the tools they need to succeed, and more importantly, show them that their community believes in them.

Thank you for considering this request. Your kindness and generosity can help ensure every child walks into school ready to learn, feel valued, and thrive.
