My Project

Sometimes things happen throughout the day that cause kids to have to leave school early. Milk spills, food fights in the cafeteria (just kidding), and sometimes our girls get surprises in the middle of a class. Many times, they come to me for a spare change of clothes, and I do my best, but I'm running out of options from my own daughters' hand me downs.

I'd like to create an "oopsies" closet for those days when nothing seems fair, and everything goes wrong.

A place where girls can come and receive fresh new clothes instead of having to leave school and miss out on learning. Comfort is very important and that's why I've chosen sweatpants, t-shirts, and hoodies.
