My Project

I am a school nurse in a high needs area. The current economy is greatly impacting our families financial needs. When a family is struggling to feed and clothe their children, hygiene products are often times considered a luxury. Many times this need falls onto the schools and the school nurse.

Every child deserves a safe and healthy school experience.

Donations of hygiene products and small snacks will greatly reduce the financial burden on our families and on our schools. Children are our future. It is our job to ensure their safety and happiness. With your generous donation, we can help make that happen.
