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

I have the privilege of working with an incredible group of students with special needs—each one unique, resilient, and full of potential. What I love most about them is their unwavering determination and the joy they bring to learning, even when faced with challenges.

For my students to truly flourish, they need more than just encouragement—they need an environment that supports their individual needs.

That’s where you come in.

Every piece of donated furniture—whether it’s a sensory pea pod , soft rug, or sensory-friendly seating—directly enhances their ability to focus, engage, and feel comfortable in the classroom. These resources aren’t just “things”—they’re tools that help build confidence, promote independence, and create a space where every child can feel safe and included.

Your generosity can transform a classroom into a place of possibility. Thank you for helping us make that happen.
