Because of you, we were able to create care packages that included clear backpacks, transparent bags, snacks, motivational bracelets, and writing journals for students who join our school from foster care or who are currently in state custody.\r\nThese care packages represent much more than school supplies. For our students, they send a powerful message: you are safe here, you belong, and you are cared for. Clear backpacks and transparent bags help students meet school safety expectations while also symbolizing openness and trust. Snacks help meet immediate needs and reassure students that they are taken care of, and motivational bracelets serve as daily reminders that they are supported and capable.\r\nWriting journals provide students with a private, personal space to reflect, express emotions, and process their experiences—something many of our students deeply need as they navigate transitions and uncertainty.\r\nYour support has helped us create an environment of stability, dignity, and belonging. Because of you, students are able to focus on learning and growth with greater confidence and hope.","fullyFundedDate":1758845711372,"projectUrl":"project/fostering-support-one-bag-at-a-time/9396019/","projectTitle":"Fostering Support One Bag at a Time","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Robert","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6730562"},{"teacherId":6730562,"projectId":9260921,"letterContent":"Thank you for making our project, Spreading Kindness One Station at a Time, possible.
