Where We Started

My mission originated from my participation in a Civitan Youth Leadership and Diversity Conference held in Angola, Indiana, during the summer of 2019. Throughout the conference, various sessions addressed ongoing issues in education and society. The session that left a lasting impact on me emphasized the importance of being the change we wish to see. Upon returning home, I immediately began brainstorming ways to contribute to my community.

Recognizing the challenges faced by many students, particularly in the Wayne-Westland Community School District, in obtaining essential supplies for academic success, I felt compelled to take action. Aware of the financial constraints on teachers, making it difficult for them to provide necessary supplies to students, I decided to alleviate this burden. Thus, I initiated my first School Supplies Campaign.
