My Project

The materials that I am requesting are for inner city youth at my school. I currently work in the heart of the West Side Austin Community where some of us know that, times have been very hard for our youth. Everything is increasing day by day and I know as being a parent myself, things can get hard and finances can become slim. I am asking for help to help our babies and promoting a healthy life style. Some of babies probably don't know and some might not understand what it means and what it takes to become and stay healthy. It's not all about what and how you eat, it's also about hygiene. These materials that I am requesting will assist with all that. I am asking for help in purchasing these said materials to help our babies understand that when they feel like mom and dad don't understand, I/we do. The other materials that I am requesting is just an incentive to let our babies know that you did good today, here's a small treat for you. I do appreciate you in advance for taking out the time to read my project proposal.

Thank you
