My Project

I am requesting materials for students during cold and flu season at a school that primarily consists of students from underserved communities. Access to basic supplies are hard to come by, and I would like to help by providing students with necessities to combat cold and flu season, as well as fight basic hunger when food banks are often taxed from the holidays. I am seeking support for my students to continue to thrive in an environment they can count on for love, support, and care for over 180 days each year. Your generosity is unrepayable, and your partnership is needed now more than ever, as the state of Washington faces a severe budget deficit that may impact resources for years to come.
