My Project
I kindly ask for your assistance in providing my students with clear backpacks, transparent bags, snacks, motivational bracelets, and writing journals.
Every child deserves a safe space.
These items will be assembled into care packages for students who join our school from foster care or who are currently in state custody. We have a significant number of students in these situations, and our goal is to equip them with materials that convey they are in a secure environment and that we genuinely care about their well-being. Your support will help us foster a sense of belonging and stability for these young individuals as they navigate their educational journey. Clear backpacks and transparent bags not only comply with school safety regulations but also symbolize transparency and openness, creating an environment where students feel they have nothing to hide and everything to gain.
By including snacks, we aim to address immediate needs and remind them that they are taken care of, while motivational bracelets serve as a constant, wearable reminder of their potential and the encouragement they have from the community. Writing journals offer them a personal space to express themselves, process their thoughts, and cultivate creativity and reflection.
These efforts are more than just providing supplies—they are about building a network of support and showing these students that they are seen, valued, and supported. With your help, we can make a meaningful difference in their lives, empowering them to focus on their education and personal growth with confidence and hope.
