Basic Supplies to Focus on Success

Help me give my students the basic personal hygiene items they need in order to focus on their academics!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Maali's classroom raised $1,335

This project is fully funded

My Students

I am the Case Manager & Counselor for students on the southwest side of Chicago. Many students require basic personal hygiene items that they are unable to get on their own.

These materials will allow my students to learn with the worry of how to provide for their basic needs!

My Project

Many of our students are in need of basic personal hygiene supplies as well as snack items to get them through the day. Not having to worry about where or when they will be able to get basic supplies will allow the students the opportunity to be successful in their classes.

These items will allow the students to focus on their academics and not worry about having their basic needs met.

Your generosity will help the students feel more a part of the school community when they do not have to focus on things out of their control.
