A student at Keane would greatly benefit from a compression vest due to sensory needs that are impacting his ability to participate fully in the school environment. Compression vests offer deep pressure that promotes a sense of calm, focus, and body awareness. If this student were able to receive the benefits of a compression vest throughout the day, we believe an educational barrier will be removed for this student.
The link to the specific compression vest this student is in need of is below: (Size Small) Thank you!

This family consists of a ten-year-old girl living with her mom, aunt, and grandma. The aunt and grandma are unable to work because of ongoing medical issues, so mom provides for all four members of the household. As a result, they have extremely limited funds and have to prioritize necessary expenses such as food and bills. They have nothing left to afford extras such as cleaning supplies, food containers and storage bins. The family is requesting these supplies in an effort to minimize food waste and maintain a clean home environment for the child.
In particular they need at least a couple large organizational totes, a Tupperware-style food storage set, Pinesol, bleach, dish detergent, all-purpose cleaner, sturdy garbage bags, a mop and bucket, sponges, gloves, oven cleaner, disinfectant wipes, paper towels, dusters, toilet cleaner, and shower cleaner. Any and all additional sanitation products are welcome to assist with maintaining a clean and safe environment. Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated.
