My Project

Dear Generous Donor,

Teenagers need to know they are loved and supported.

One challenge many young women face is being caught off guard by their menstrual cycle at school. Without access to feminine hygiene products, they may feel embarrassed, uncomfortable, or even have to miss class.

Providing feminine products in my classroom ensures that students can focus on learning rather than worrying about where to find what they need. When students feel secure and prepared, they stay engaged in class, confident in themselves, and free from unnecessary stress or distractions.

The goal for this project is simple. No young woman should have to struggle through the school day because she doesn’t have essential hygiene products. With these supplies available, students can feel comfortable and confident in the classroom, stay focused on their education instead of feeling embarrassed or stressed, and avoid missing valuable learning time due to lack of access.

My students are hardworking, grateful, and deeply appreciative of the generosity of others. They understand the power of kindness and community, and donations like yours show them that people care about their well-being. Your support will provide them with comfort, confidence, and the ability to learn without unnecessary obstacles.

Thank you for helping create a classroom where young women feel valued and empowered. Your generosity truly makes a difference.

With gratitude,

Ms. Zaria Chandler
