As a mental health clinician, I know that healing does not begin with words alone — especially for children. It begins with safety. It begins with connection. And often, it begins with play.\r\n\r\nThe materials and furnishings you funded have already made a powerful impact. My kiddos now look forward to coming to sessions because play therapy has become an intentional and engaging part of their healing process. Through play, they are learning to regulate their emotions, express difficult experiences, build coping skills, and strengthen their sense of self in ways that feel natural and safe to them.\r\n\r\nWhile I am unable to share photos due to confidentiality, please know that the room is alive with creativity, laughter, and meaningful therapeutic moments. What you helped create is not just a physical space — it is a sanctuary where children feel seen, heard, and supported.\r\n\r\nI understand that ESPN and CFP Foundation were among the contributors, and I am especially grateful for your investment in community mental health and in the emotional well-being of young people. Your generosity extends far beyond this room — it supports resilience, confidence, and healthier futures.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in this work.\r\nThank you for supporting children's healing.\r\nAnd thank you for helping create a space where hope grows — one session at a time.\r\n\r\nWith my sincerest and deepest gratitude,","fullyFundedDate":1766155880226,"projectUrl":"project/from-trauma-to-trust-empowering-student/9644749/","projectTitle":"From Trauma to Trust: Empowering Students Through Therapy","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Brock's Therapy Room","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9808186"},{"teacherId":6702097,"projectId":10085546,"letterContent":"Because of your generosity, our DonorsChoose \"Lego Careers\" project has become a reality—and I cannot thank you enough.

Having easy access to healthy snacks allows students to stay engaged, regulate their emotions, and concentrate on learning rather than worrying about hunger. One moment that really stood out was during a small-group reading lesson—students were able to remain focused, participate actively, and persevere through challenging texts because their basic needs were met.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the snacks, their reactions were full of excitement and gratitude. Several students immediately said \"thank you,\" and others shared that they sometimes come to school hungry. They felt cared for and supported, which helped create a positive and inclusive classroom community.\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, our next steps include continuing to build strong literacy skills through small-group reading instruction, phonics practice, and collaborative math problem-solving.
