They couldn't believe that someone they didn't know would donate to them. Then they couldn't believe that teachers would have to pay for these things if it weren't for people like you. They see your kindness, and they are grateful.\r\n\r\nYou wouldn't believe it! We have already gone through 1/4 of the boxes of tissue you donated. It is wonderful that there is a cupboard in the classroom to get more! What can I say about the pencils? We are only allowed to use pencils in math class, so you can only imagine the need. Now, if one or two sneak out of the room, it is okay.\r\n\r\nAgain, your kindness and generosity are shown with your donation. Now we will spread kindness to others.","fullyFundedDate":1764711096828,"projectUrl":"project/basic-needs-for-all/9671028/","projectTitle":"Basic Needs for All","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Nelson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp993345_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1474401285986","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/993345"},{"teacherId":3029691,"projectId":9282890,"letterContent":"Thank you so so much for your support & generosity!\r\n\r\nOur Project LIT book club members like books that involve tragic stories that end on a happy note and were so excited to see that this project for Meet Me at the Blue Hour by Sarah Suk had been funded!
