Your donations have had a profound impact on our students' sense of dignity, confidence, and readiness to learn. With your help, we've been able to stock our community closet with essential items like hygiene products, school supplies, and snacks—resources that many of our students quietly go without. These items are available to students in a discreet and respectful way, allowing them to focus on their education instead of basic survival needs.\r\n\r\nOne moment that stood out was when a student who had been struggling with attendance quietly visited the closet and left with a full hygiene kit and new socks. The next week, she showed up more consistently and even asked to join our after-school college prep program. Small acts of care, like access to basic supplies, can open the door to much bigger opportunities. As we move into the school year, these resources will continue to support students during college application season, job interviews, and everyday challenges. Your gift has given them more than items—it's given them the chance to show up as their best selves. Thank you again for standing with us.","fullyFundedDate":1741795224731,"projectUrl":"project/basic-needs-supplies-for-high-schoolers/9155924/","projectTitle":"Basic Needs Supplies for High Schoolers in Oakland","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Kelber","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6631907_orig.png?crop=1501,1501,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1648052365001","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6631907"},{"teacherId":6631907,"projectId":6873219,"letterContent":"My students and I have been using these supplies for basic needs.
