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

I’m reaching out with an exciting request to help support my cheer squad of 25 talented girls! We’re in need of a designated space to store and clean our performance boots. By providing a boot rack and cleaning supplies, we can ensure the boots are properly maintained, keeping them in top shape without the risk of them being folded or damaged. We’ve already ordered supplies to care for the leather, and having a dedicated area to clean and store them would be a game-changer for our team. Your help would mean so much to us!

Boots are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do... but clean and maintained thanks to you!
