The refrigerator you helped provide has become a vital part of our school health room and is used every single day. We safely store temperature-sensitive medications, Pediasure, student snacks, ice packs, and medical supplies, allowing me to respond quickly and calmly to student needs. Whether caring for a child with asthma symptoms, supporting nutritional needs, or providing comfort care, having everything accessible in one organized space has greatly improved the quality and efficiency of care.\r\n\r\nMy students were excited when the refrigerator arrived and immediately noticed how it helps our health room run more smoothly. Many of them are learning early self-care skills and enjoy participating in simple routines like helping retrieve a drink or ice pack. These moments build independence and confidence, especially for students managing chronic medical conditions. The refrigerator has also made it easier to maintain consistency and dignity in care throughout the school day.\r\n\r\nThis project has had an additional, very personal impact as well. Due to the loss of my leg and my use of a wheelchair, the bottom freezer design has been especially important. It allows me to safely access frozen items without unnecessary strain, making it easier for me to focus my energy where it matters most — caring for my students. Your generosity didn't just provide equipment; it created a safer, more accessible environment for both students and staff. Thank you for supporting our school and for investing in the health, learning, and well-being of our children.","fullyFundedDate":1767273354364,"projectUrl":"project/a-safe-healthy-space-for-students-with-h/9865226/","projectTitle":"A Safe Healthy Space for Students with Health Needs","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Arman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10336024"},{"teacherId":5559452,"projectId":9904849,"letterContent":"Words can't express how much we appreciate your support in this project. \r\n\r\nWe are grateful for your support.
