Help me give my students healthy and nourishing snacks and personal hygiene products.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Nemec's classroom raised $499
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
I love my students for their resilience, their curiosity, and the heart they bring into our classroom each day. Despite the many challenges they face outside of school, they show up eager to learn, participate, and grow. Many of my students come from low-income households and often struggle with basic needs such as food and hygiene. Yet, they continue to inspire me with their strength and determination. They are bright, capable, and full of potential—they simply need the right support to thrive.
Providing essential items like feminine products, protein bars, snacks, toothbrushes, and toothpaste can make a tremendous difference in their daily lives; When students don’t have to worry about being hungry or embarrassed by unmet hygiene needs, they can focus more on their education.
A protein bar or snack can help them concentrate during lessons, while access to hygiene products supports their confidence and well-being. These basic resources create a more equitable learning environment where every student has the dignity and tools they need to succeed.
Your support through a donation to this project would mean the world to my students and me. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps us take a step closer to meeting the daily needs of our classroom community. Thank you in advance for your generosity, compassion, and commitment to helping students feel safe, valued, and ready to learn.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
