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

Physical education is an essential part of every student's education. It helps students develop not only their physical health but also their social skills and emotional well-being. However, students with disabilities often face barriers to participating in physical education due to a lack of appropriate equipment. This is why I am reaching out to you today to request your support in our fundraiser to purchase equipment for handicapped students.

Our goal is to purchase scooters, bikes, and adapted balls to help children with disabilities develop their muscular strength and endurance as well as improve their skill development.

These pieces of equipment will go a long way in helping these students participate in physical education without limitations. By providing them with the necessary equipment, we will build their self-esteem, promote inclusion, and facilitate a healthy lifestyle.

We believe that every student should be given the opportunity to participate in physical activities, and our fundraiser aims to make that possible for children with disabilities. With your help, we can create a safe and nurturing environment where every child can feel valued and included.

We need your support to achieve our goal. Even a small donation can have a significant impact on a student's life. Your contribution will go directly towards the purchase of single rider trikes, basketball goal nets, and other necessary equipment to make a difference in the lives of students with disabilities.

Thank you in advance for your generous support. Together, we can make a difference.
