My Project

Our students are in a very challenging moment in their lives and even the smallest things can do so much to ease the pain inherent in incarceration.

The students feel the institution does not provide adequate hygiene materials and asked me to ask the donors for help with these items.

The young men have requested some items for hygiene such as shampoo, razors, body wash, sponges etc, which they believe will help them a lot in feeling more confident and respectable. This is of the utmost importance in an incarcerated setting designed to diminish confidence and respect.

Thank you so much for helping me help my students. They are incredible youth with endless potential. They are always very grateful for any support they receive.

Ms. Mercurio
Grades 9-12
