Confidence Through Care: Providing Hygiene Essentials for Teens

Help me give my students access to basic hygiene products that may seem guaranteed to some are not available to everyone.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Murphy's classroom raised $173

My Project

For many teens, access to basic hygiene products isn’t guaranteed, yet these essentials play a crucial role in their confidence, health, and overall well-being. Without items like deodorant, soap, toothpaste, and other personal care products, students may struggle with self-esteem, face social challenges, or even miss school.

By providing hygiene essentials, we ensure that every teen has the opportunity to feel clean, comfortable, and confident—ready to focus on their education and personal growth rather than worrying about their basic needs.

Together, we can support their dignity and well-being, creating a school environment where every student can thrive.
