My Project

This project aims to provide essential school supplies—pens, pencils, folders, and other basic materials—to ensure that every student has the tools they need to succeed. By equipping our classroom with these supplies, we can alleviate the financial burden on families and create an equitable learning environment where all students can thrive.

Our students in Youngstown, Ohio, are resilient and eager learners who face daily challenges due to economic hardships.

Many come from low-income households and lack access to basic educational materials. Despite these obstacles, they arrive at school each day ready to learn and grow.

By contributing to this project, you're not just providing supplies; you're investing in the future of our students. Your generosity will help create a supportive and resource-rich environment where every child has the opportunity to succeed.
