The majority of the students at our school are from a low-income family, 75% of our students qualify for free or reduced lunch so to their family's income. We know that food insecurity is a major issue amongst children and youth, especially as grocery prices continue to rise while income do not. Often, our students do not have consistent food at home and attend school without having breakfast. \r\nWhen it comes to mental health, it's hard to work on reducing symptoms, process emotions and/or trauma, or regulate those emotions when basic needs are not met. Your donations are helping us to address this, meeting our students' needs whenever they come into our offices to put in the work to become healthier, happier people.\r\nYour support through these donations aid us to stretch our limited budgets a little farther. Our program is funded through Medicaid, which continues to experience cut backs and decreases as policies change, so, combining small budgets with high grocery prices, we would not be able to provide all the needed services to help our students without the care and support we received from you.","fullyFundedDate":1750256111709,"projectUrl":"project/building-on-resiliency-through-emotional/9295230/","projectTitle":"Building on Resiliency Through Emotional Processing","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Kaitlyn","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9939546"},{"teacherId":9966577,"projectId":9155831,"letterContent":"The supplies provided by Donors Choose helped serve my classroom with a base of supplies to complete a variety of assignments.
