My Project

We're reaching out to you to support our exceptional special needs students. Our students urgently require noise-canceling headphones. In recent weeks, we've encountered situations where these headphones would have made a significant difference for our students. Over the past few years, our previous headphones have fallen apart, or have been broken due to everyday use.

Many of our extraordinary special needs students face challenges in responding to loud noises and are easily overstimulated by the everyday noise in a school environment.

Your contribution will enable us to provide these students with the tools they need to thrive.

By choosing to support this initiative, you are giving us the means to assist our students who benefit greatly from the added peace and quiet that noise-canceling headphones can provide. Your choice can make a lasting impact on the educational journey of these amazing individuals.
