My Project

I love my students because each one carries a story of resilience and potential. Many come from challenging backgrounds or find themselves in my program because they need a safe space to refocus. Sometimes it is as simple as needing a break after making a tough choice like turning over a cellphone. No matter the reason, I believe in their ability to grow, learn, and succeed.

The supplies I am requesting—pencils, pens, erasers, scissors, cardstock, pencil organizers, sharpeners, staplers, tape dispensers, and a mini fridge—are essential tools that will help create an environment where students feel prepared and cared for.

These resources support their learning by keeping them organized, engaged, and focused. The mini fridge will store snacks or materials that help maintain energy and comfort which is especially important for students who may not have steady access to food throughout the day.

With these tools, I can better support each student’s journey from distraction or setback to confidence and academic success. Your support means giving these kids the chance to build brighter futures one day and one lesson at a time.
