At our small high school, many students come from low income families, and some are facing even greater challenges as they navigate life in foster care or without a stable home. During the holidays, these students often go without gifts, missing out on the simple joys that so many of us take for granted. Despite these hardships, our students remain grateful for what they have and continue to inspire us with their resilience and hope.

This year, we want to make sure every foster and homeless student at our school feels seen, valued, and celebrated. We will be purchasing gifts directly from their wish and need lists. Many students are asking for basics like blankets and sweatshirts, while others hope for a gift card to buy something special for themselves. Our goal is to ensure each student receives both what they need and a little of what they want to brighten their holiday season.

Every donation, no matter the size, will help us bring a little more joy and comfort to students who need it most. If you’re not able to give right now, sharing this fundraiser with your friends and family is another wonderful way to help. Thank you for helping us make the holidays brighter for our students!
