I had several students on 504 plans that needed test or other content in larger font, I had several situations where students needed to print an assignment, and other days where we were short one or two copies and without interrupting class, I was able to simply print on the spot. I cannot tell you how valuable and important these resources were to an efficient and engaging classroom flow.

As a middle school counselor in a low-income community, I work every day to help students navigate the challenges they face both inside and outside the classroom. Your support has enabled me to provide much-needed resources—such as educational tools, mental health programs, and social-emotional learning workshops—that directly benefit students who might otherwise go without. These resources are helping them build resilience, improve self-esteem, and stay motivated during difficult times.\r\n\r\nThanks to your kindness, our students are receiving the support they need to not only succeed academically but to thrive emotionally and socially. The materials you've helped fund are giving them a safe space to talk, reflect, and develop the coping skills they need to overcome obstacles. Your investment in their future is truly changing lives, and I am deeply grateful for your belief in the power of education and the potential of these young learners. Together, we are making a difference in ways that will ripple through their lives for years to come.
