My Project

My students are creative, determined, and full of personality. They work incredibly hard in speech therapy, often overcoming challenges with courage and persistence. I love celebrating every bit of their progress, no matter how big or small.

A heat press will be a powerful motivator for my students.

It will provide a fun, hands-on way for them to transform their hard work into something tangible—like custom t-shirts or bags they design themselves. This rewarding experience will inspire continued effort, spark self-expression, and give them a lasting reminder of their achievements.

Thank you for helping create a more just and equitable learning environment for my students. Many come from communities that have historically faced barriers to opportunity. Your support sends a powerful message—that their voices matter, their creativity deserves to shine, and their hard work should be celebrated. Together, we’re not just building speech skills—we’re nurturing confidence, pride, and a strong sense of identity. Thank you for standing with us.
