Help me give my students basic needs items such as socks and underwear. These items shouldn't be luxury items. Kids shouldn't be worried about taking off their shoes in PE because their socks have holes.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
The students in this school face many challenges and insecurities in their daily lives, including poverty, homelessness, lack of food and proper clothing and incarcerated parents.
They lack basic necessities but they still come to school eager for that structure and to have something to smile about and of course, to learn.
The goal of our Family Community Resource Center in the school is to provide those basic needs so children can learn (and smile too). Because of the high needs of the community these kids are in need of basics such as socks, underwear and shoes that fit well.
My Project
We have food for the kids but we need other necessities. By taking care of the basic needs of these children we are giving them a chance to focus on learning. Let's help them not feel shame, not feel less than thier peers.
Socks and underwear are things we take for granted every day but things many of these kids do not have.
Let's make sure we even the playing field for all kids no matter their income level. Help me fund this project and give these kids these items which we don't even think about on a daily basis.
