HELP! Washing Away Clothing Problems

Help me give my students laundry detergent to help wash their clothes and promote self-care.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Vaughn's classroom raised $923

My Project

My students, especially my new migrant students, are in desperate need of laundry detergent to wash their clothes this school year. My little first graders really would appreciate the help of cleaning their clothes. Recently, I've noticed that sometimes my students are missing school because they have no clean clothes to wear. As their teacher, I am really concerned that more than likely, they do not have the essential cleaning materials for their families to wash their clothes.

The goal of this project is to ensure that all of the little ones in my class are able to come to school not only ready to learn but also be able to look at themselves as presentable and self-assured that their hygiene is at its best.
