My Project

My students come from many backgrounds, I have noticed that since coming back from COVID, they are in need of basic supplies. I want them to have what they need, and not have to worry about it. If they don’t have a hairbrush, I want to have it for them. If they need lotion, I want to have that for them. I want to take away ONE stress so that we can just concentrate on academics. I also want this to be a free no questions asked supply for their use.
