This donation is about so much more than supplies; it is a profound investment in our students' dignity and self-confidence.\r\n\r\nFor many of our young adults, accessing basic hygiene items like soap, deodorant, and toothbrushes is a silent, yet significant, obstacle. When students worry about personal care, it creates intense social anxiety, which often leads to reduced participation, withdrawal, or even absenteeism.\r\n\r\nThanks to your incredible support, those personal barriers have been lifted.\r\n\r\nThe availability of these discrete and essential hygiene kits ensures that every student can face the school day feeling clean, confident, and prepared. This restored sense of well-being translates directly into the classroom: students are more engaged, more willing to speak up, and better able to focus on their learning without the crippling distraction of social worry. Your kits have given our students the freedom to simply be students.\r\n\r\nThank you for seeing the whole student—their needs, their potential, and their right to feel respected and confident at school. Your generosity is empowering them to access their education fully.","fullyFundedDate":1758116893198,"projectUrl":"project/self-care-and-hygiene-kits-for-my-studen/9648946/","projectTitle":"Self-Care and Hygiene Kits For My Students","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Yates","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8469880_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1700534667157","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8469880"},{"teacherId":8469880,"projectId":9535831,"letterContent":"For many of my high school students, days are long, often starting before dawn and extending late into the evening with clubs, sports, or after-school work.

Hunger was often the biggest, silent barrier to learning\r\n\r\nOne student recently told me, \"I thought I was going to fail the math quiz because I couldn't focus, but getting that snack helped me clear my head and remember the formulas.\" Hearing these small but profound affirmations confirms the real-world value of your donation every single day.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in these students and for investing in their basic needs, which allows them to fully access their education.
