My Project

Our senior students at a free public charter school in South East D.C. are heading on a life-changing senior trip to Walt Disney World in Florida, but we need your help to ensure they have what they need to stay safe and organized during their visit to the parks. Many of our students come from underserved communities and often lack the personal items needed for such a trip. We are seeking donations for crossbody bags to help students keep their personal belongings secure and easily accessible while they explore the parks. These bags will help students carry their essentials—like wallets, phones, and park tickets—without the worry of losing them or being overwhelmed by bulky backpacks. Your donation will directly support these students’ experience, helping them make the most of this unforgettable trip!
