With your generosity, that vision became a reality.\r\n\r\nSince receiving the fridge, I've been able to consistently offer nutritious choices that help students stay focused and feel cared for throughout the day. What I didn't anticipate, however, was how much more this small appliance would come to mean.\r\n\r\nThe fridge included a larger freezer than expected, which has allowed me to store items like frozen ice pops and ice packs. These have become incredibly useful tools in my work, whether helping a student manage a panic attack or providing a calming, sensory-focused break when needed.\r\n\r\nAnother unexpected benefit has been the increase in student visits. More students are stopping by for snacks, which has opened the door to new connections and conversations. It's become a powerful, informal way to build rapport with students I might not normally interact with—offering moments of support, trust-building, and care that truly matter.\r\n\r\nYour donation has done more than just provide a fridge, it's helped create a more welcoming, supportive environment for students and enhanced my ability to meet their needs in meaningful ways.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your support.
