Curriculum Materials and Storage Solutions for Neurodivergent Teens

My Project

Imagine walking into a classroom where every student learns in a different way—but all share the same spark of potential. My students have developmental disabilities, and they thrive when given the right tools, structure, and support. I’m raising funds to purchase essential items like a laminating machine, storage solutions, and durable materials to create customized, hands-on learning resources tailored to their unique needs. These supplies will help make lessons more engaging, accessible, and lasting—turning everyday moments into powerful learning opportunities. Your donation, no matter the size, will make a real difference in helping my students grow, achieve, and feel proud of their progress every single day.
