Story
Dear Generous Donor:
I am reaching out on behalf of a single mother in our community who is in urgent need of support. She is the devoted parent of three children, ages 8, 11, and 13, who are all currently enrolled in school and doing their best to succeed despite facing some significant challenges at home.
The family’s washer and dryer have not been functioning properly for some time, making it extremely difficult for the children to have consistently clean clothes. Without a working washer and dryer, and without access to a vehicle to travel to a laundromat, this mother has been unable to maintain regular laundry routines. As a result, the children have sometimes come to school with clothing that carries an odor.
We are concerned about the potential impact this may have on their physical health, emotional well-being, and self-esteem. No child should have to worry about being teased or feeling embarrassed about something as basic as clean clothes.
This donation would truly be life-changing for this family. It would allow the the children come to school feeling comfortable, clean, and focused, ready to learn.
If you or someone in your network is able to donate a working washer and dryer, we would be incredibly grateful. This act of kindness would mean the world to this family.
Thank you so much for considering this request.
Warmly,
Tamisha Daniels Student Support Counselor
