Many children these days don't have many adults that provide positive words and support.

In the past I have taken children to an event after school, because they didn't have anyone to tell them. It was an art scow in the community, and she would have missed seeing her art displayed in an art studio.

I have also provided clothing, school supplies and personal items for students in the past.

Being able to make a student smile, I will do everything in my power to help make their life better.
