Help me give my students with autism an organized, functional classroom for students to thrive.

My Project
This project aims to create a more organized and structured space where students can thrive for Lunar during the Lunar New Year. Clearbins will help minimize distractions, provide easy access to materials, and give students a sense of predictability and control. For many of our students who benefit from routine and order, these bins will reduce anxiety and help them focus on learning tasks. They will also enable better independence, as students can learn to take ownership of their own materials and workspace.
What makes my students special is their resilience and unique ways of engaging with the world.
Each has its strengths, and the structured environment these bins will help create will give them the tools to be more successful in the classroom and everyday life. With your support, we’re taking an essential step toward meeting their needs and ensuring they feel safe, confident, and capable of learning.
Thank you again for your generosity. Your contribution is truly making a difference.
More than half of students from low‑income households
