My Project
I teach in a Title I classroom in a low-income, high-trauma area, and many of my students come to school carrying more than just backpacks—they carry emotional burdens most kids their age should never have to face.
Because of what they experience at home, school is often the only stable, loving, and safe place they know.
I’m doing everything I can to create an inclusive environment where they feel seen, supported, and cared for. Whether it’s through the requested floor seat that helps them feel comfortable or basic calming supplies they don’t have access to otherwise—I’m trying to build a space where they can truly thrive.
If you’re able and feel led, I’d be so grateful for your support in helping me fulfill some of our classroom needs. Every little bit makes a difference.
