Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

My students deserve a classroom that feels safe, welcoming, and full of love. As a teacher in a low-income community in North Carolina, I serve amazing Black and Brown students who need a space where they feel valued, supported, and ready to learn.

With your help, we can create a fully furnished classroom with the resources and comfortable learning spaces they need to grow and succeed.

Your donation is more than furniture and supplies—it is an investment in children who deserve to know they matter. Every gift, big or small, will help us build a classroom where our students can learn, dream, and thrive.

Thank you for believing in my students!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
