Only 4 More Donors Needed! Be Our Hero!

Calling all local heroes! We need four more of you to make a quick $25 donations to help support this worthy cause! We're almost at our goal

Hi all! I am a Commack resident and graduate presently working as a special education teacher in the Bronx. The community has already helped me raise over $9800 to get my students crucial tools for their success (see all we have been honored with at the link below) They are so thrilled, and my effectiveness as a teacher has improved tremendously. In case you didn’t already hear, I teach children with multiple and severe disabilities who are growing up in high poverty areas that we couldn’t even imagine raising our children in. They lack familial involvement and the access to supplies they need to be inspired to learn. Please help support my class by donating to our NEW donorschoose.org project! We are very close to meeting our goal—Access to Learning A-Z online subscriptions to help my students learn to read for the first time. All the teachers I know have benefitted tremendously from this software. I can’t wait until my class is able to utilize it.

Thank you in advance! Please also share with your friends/colleagues who may not be residents. My students and I sincerely thank you!

The community has astounded me with their generous donations for my students’ interactive whiteboard, printer, ink and paper. Let’s do it again for my new project!

Please be one of the final four we need! Your efforts will be greatly appreciated!
