Help Please With the Winter Freeze

Help me give my students a little warmth on these cold winter days

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Dexter's classroom raised $427

This project is fully funded

My Project

My school is on Alabama's Gulf Coast. We get cold weather here but nothing like we have seen for the last few days. Many of our students don't have the proper outerwear to make it through these extremely cold days. The school building itself is almost 100 years old. Even with updated heating, we still feel classrooms that are really cold.

I would like to add to our school's resources by providing students with limited resources the opportunity to stay warm during these brutal winter days by giving them coats.
