My Project

Please help me give our students health and hygiene items to make it through the school day. I sent $35.00 yesterday to purchase female products for a student that had an accident in school. Talk about embarrassing and humiliating for a middle school student.

Middle school is hard enough without female hygiene issues that students must deal with as young ladies.

My male students also need deodorant and soap to wash at school when they don't have running water at home.

All these items will be used through our school nurse who is very caring and supportive of our students.

Please help!
