My Project
I am reaching out to share a pressing need within our school community and to ask for your support in helping us care for our students beyond the classroom.
Many of our students face daily challenges in accessing essential items that are often taken for granted but make a significant difference in a child’s confidence, health, and overall well-being.
To help meet these needs, I am working to create a supply bin with drawers filled with:
• Hair care products
• Dental supplies
• Body care items
• First aid essentials
• Lip and nail care
• Skin care products
• School supplies
• Nutritious snacks
Your donation would go a long way in ensuring our students feel supported and cared for, both at school and at home.
Thank you for considering this request. With your help, we can make a meaningful and lasting impact on the lives of the young people in our community.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
