Because of you, my students now have access to essential snacks, eating utensils, and a convenient foldable wagon that makes distributing these items throughout the school so much easier.\r\n\r\nAs a school counselor, I see firsthand how something as simple as a snack or a spoon can make a huge difference in a student's day. Many of my students rely on school for both emotional support and basic needs. Thanks to you, I can now provide quick, nutritious options to help them stay focused, energized, and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nThe foldable wagon has also been a game changer! It allows me to efficiently carry supplies across our campus—whether I'm delivering snacks to classrooms, setting up for small group sessions, or simply being a mobile support system for our students.\r\n\r\nYour donation has had an immediate and tangible impact. You didn't just fund supplies—you fueled comfort, care, and connection for young people who need it most.\r\n\r\nFrom the bottom of my heart, thank you for believing in this project and for the support.","fullyFundedDate":1742823896830,"projectUrl":"project/fueling-success-providing-snacks-and-es/9065919/","projectTitle":"Fueling Success: Providing Snacks and Essentials for Students in Need","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Tierra Shareef","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9177803_orig.jpg?crop=606,606,x344,y933&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1714998111260","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9177803"},{"teacherId":5967751,"projectId":8967756,"letterContent":"Thanks, you so much, one comment made by the robotics students was this was a \"God sent\" while smiling at the wagon.

I included a picture on the slide show of the usage. They really felt like they were not the odd team out and they had what they needed.
