Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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.

My Project

As a third-year teacher in South Central Los Angeles, I work with incredible students from low-income communities who face daily challenges far beyond the classroom. Despite these obstacles, they show up eager to learn and grow. Your support helps provide the essential tools and resources they deserve—whether it’s books, supplies, or hands-on learning experiences. Every donation makes a direct impact, creating a more equitable and empowering education for my students. Thank you for helping us build brighter futures here in South Central. Thank you from the top and bottom of my heart, my students deserve it.
