Nurses Care, Help Students Grow!

Help me give my students products that they may not receive at home.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Fant's classroom raised $1,364

My Project

I am a long-time school nurse. For years I have had students go without needed items such as underwear, sanitary items, hygiene items, and simple snacks. Our school simply doesn’t have the funding to supply these items. We’re a low-income school with a high level of minority students. Our families can’t afford simple items such as underwear and sanitary supplies.

I want my students to have what they need to keep them healthy so that they can stay at school and have the best education possible!

Please donate if you can. It would mean so much to my little ones!

We always ask parents to send a change of clothing but very few do because they just can’t afford to. If a student has an accident and they don’t have clothing, parents must pick them up. If that happens they are missing educational time! To learn, they must be at school.
