My Project

Help Me Create a Safe, Supportive Space for Students

I’m a first-year school counselor serving an incredible group of students in a low socioeconomic community.

Many of them face challenges beyond the classroom, and I’m working to create a warm, welcoming counseling space where they feel seen, safe, and supported.

With your help, I hope to fill the room with color, comfort, and tools for emotional regulation and coping — things like fidgets, feelings books, sensory items, soft seating, and calming visuals.

Every item donated helps create a space where students can breathe, talk, reset, and grow.

Thank you for believing that every child deserves a safe space to land.

Ms. S Echo Loder Elementary School Grades PreK-2
