My Project
In our preschool autism classroom, we work hard every day to build a foundation of learning, confidence, and independence. Our students are bright, curious, and full of potential. However, many of our little learners are still mastering essential self-care skills like toileting and hygiene. Having access to pull-ups and soothing lotion is critical for their comfort, dignity, and success throughout the school day.
Unfortunately, pull-ups and personal care supplies are not always provided by families or budgets, and our needs quickly outpace what we have on hand.
With your support, we can ensure that every child has what they need to feel safe, clean, and ready to learn. Pull-ups help minimize accidents and anxiety during toileting routines, while gentle lotion soothes sensitive skin — something many of our students experience due to sensory processing challenges or frequent washing.
When basic needs are met, our students can focus on what truly matters: exploring, connecting, communicating, and growing. Your generosity will make a daily, direct difference in their lives, helping to build a learning environment where they feel supported, loved, and respected.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
