As a special education teacher working with 1st and 2nd graders, I see firsthand the power of the right tools in unlocking potential. My students are bright, curious, and eager to learn—but they face unique challenges that require individualized support. Many of them learn best through hands-on, sensory, and adaptive resources that aren’t always readily available in our classroom.
Your donation helps create a classroom where every child, regardless of ability, has the chance to thrive.
Whether it's adaptive seating, language tools, or calming materials, each item helps build confidence, focus, and independence. You're not just funding supplies—you’re helping a child read their first sentence, solve their first math problem, or express themselves clearly for the first time.
When you give, you're part of something deeply meaningful. You’re saying, I believe in these kids, and that belief changes everything.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
