Help Me Provide Essential Hygiene Items for Students in Need!

Help me give my students and help meet their daily needs. I have a decent population of students that due to life circumstances take showers at school, do their laundry at school, and get ready for the day.

My Project

Hello! Thank you for taking the time to look at my project. I am a busy school nurse in a Title I school. With that being said I find myself providing basic needs to many students. The area we serve has many students that live without water, heat, couch surf, and various other unique living experiences.

I work hard to help them with their basics needs and am looking for help to keep providing essential items!

Simple things like toothbrushes, deodorant, feminine hygiene products are essential items to start their day. Some of these awesome hard-working youth start every day in the nurse's office getting ready for school. Whether it be showering, starting their laundry, brushing teeth, etc.

Ms. Burger Houston High School Grades 9-12
