When SNAP benefits were unexpectedly delayed, several of my students felt the impact immediately. Your generosity stepped in at just the right moment.\r\n\r\nBecause of you, my students received food that eased worry, restored comfort, and allowed them to focus on learning. The smiles on their faces said more than words ever could. Beyond meeting a physical need, your kindness sent a powerful message: they are seen, valued, and cared for—not just for their grades or behavior, but for who they are as children.\r\n\r\nIn a season when some felt overlooked, you showed them that a community of compassionate people stands behind them. That lesson in love, empathy, and support will stay with them far longer than any assignment.\r\n\r\nThank you for nourishing both their bodies and their spirits. Your generosity made a tangible difference in our classroom, and we are deeply grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1762526615617,"projectUrl":"project/south-memphis-surviving-and-thriving/9858780/","projectTitle":"South Memphis Surviving and Thriving","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. M.","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/marie-mcgowan"},{"teacherId":462203,"projectId":9858847,"letterContent":"I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for your generous support of our DonorsChoose project. During a time when SNAP benefits were not being distributed to families across the country, your kindness made a profound difference in the lives of my students and their families.\r\n\r\nBecause of your donations, we were able to provide essential food items for students to take home. These simple but vital resources helped ensure that our children could focus on their learning rather than hunger. When immediate needs are met, students are better able to engage, participate, and grow—and your support made that possible.\r\n\r\nYour generosity demonstrated to our students that they are part of a caring community that believes in their potential and well-being. It reminded them (and me) that compassion, action, and hope can change lives, even in challenging times.\r\n\r\nThank you for standing beside us, for believing in our mission, and for making such a meaningful impact.
