Your kindness has made an immediate and meaningful impact. Many of my students arrive to our small group sessions hungry—whether due to food insecurity at home, the high cost of nutritious options, or simply because of very early or very late lunch periods. Your support helps bridge that gap and allows students to stay focused and engaged during a time of day that can otherwise feel especially long and challenging.\r\n\r\nBecause of you, students are coming to group knowing they'll be nourished—not just academically, but physically, too.

Your donation has made it possible for us to meet this basic but essential need—and the impact has been immediate and heartwarming.\r\n\r\nWhen the new socks were added to the Care Cabinet, the students' eyes lit up with excitement.

With their rich visuals, simplified text, and dynamic storytelling, graphic novels allow these students to comprehend and enjoy complex narratives without feeling overwhelmed by large blocks of text. This format helps boost confidence, as struggling readers can participate in discussions on par with their classmates and reducing the stigma often associated with lower reading levels. As a result, graphic novels create a sense of belonging and accomplishment, helping students see themselves as capable readers.\r\n\r\nYour contribution didn't just provide books; it opened doors to imagination, connection, and lifelong learning.
