Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

My students are bright, resilient, and full of potential. They come from diverse backgrounds, many facing economic hardship that impacts their access to basic hygiene and nutrition. This project provides essential items—like menstrual kits, deodorant wipes, toothbrushes, protein shakes, and snacks—that support their health, dignity, and focus in the classroom. When students feel clean, confident, and nourished, they are more engaged and ready to learn. My goal is to meet their basic needs so they can thrive academically and emotionally. These simple resources make a powerful difference every single day.
