Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

I'm reaching out to ask for your support for a cause that’s very close to my heart — our special education classroom.

We’re working hard every day to create a learning environment that meets the diverse needs of our incredible students.

To make that possible, we rely on materials, sensory tools, adaptive equipment, and classroom supplies that aren’t always covered by our school’s budget. For students with disabilities, an iPad is much more than just a device — it’s a powerful learning and communication tool that helps level the playing field. It will help with communication support, individualized learning, visual and auditory supports, fine motor and accessibility tools, engagement and motivation, and having real-world skills.

Your donation — no matter the size — can make a meaningful difference. Whether it helps us purchase visual aids, calming tools, or specialized learning resources, every contribution goes directly to supporting our students' growth, comfort, and success. If you’re able to give, we would be deeply grateful.

Thank you for helping us build a more inclusive and empowering learning space!
