Hi everyone,
We are fourth-year nursing students, Sophia and Leigha, completing our community rotation at an agency working with newcomer refugee children and youth.
As you may know, many refugee children and youth come from low-income families. As a result, it is often a struggle for families to provide essential school supplies required for academic success.
We are seeking donations of school supplies which are listed in the poster attached to this email. These items will come in the form of backpack kits and given to children transitioning into our education system. The supplies donated will not only help the children and their education, but also the financial burden that their families may experience.
There will be specially marked boxes outside of the NSA office in Helen Glass from February 5th to February 16th. All donation items must be new or unopened.
Thank you for considering!
Warm regards,
Sophia & Leigha
