My Project

I am a Prevention Specialist at an elementary school and provide prevention based (coping skills influenced) counseling to elementary students k-5, in a rural, low-income part of Northern Michigan.

There are students who present to us, who could use a bit of freshening up before beginning their very long day of learning.

It would be great to be able to provide these students with the basic necessities, so they can begin their day feeling clean and refreshed. One person can only do so much, your support could allow me to reach more students!
