My Project

Dear Donor,

We are asking for help with basic puberty supplies such as period kits and deodorant for our 5th grade classes.

Most of our students are below the poverty level and we would like to give them a puberty kit with the basics when we start puberty education to help them get them started.

We know just getting the basics to get started can be difficult for students and to be able to hand out the supplies and reference what the supplies are for as we teach would be super beneficial.

We are grateful your help and please know the students will be too!
