It's more than a backpack.
New school supplies will equip the Angel House kids to belong.
For the children of Angel House, a new backpack, sturdy school shoes, a lunchbox, and fresh supplies mean more than being ready for class. They help each child walk through the school gates prepared and confident, with the same essentials as their classmates.
As our Creche Director Rose explains, “Our mission is to erase all differences between them and the other kids at school.”
And this year, Marcelin needs everything! He recently joined the Angel House family and will be attending school for the very first time.
All of these items can be purchased in Haiti, where Rose and Geomene have searched multiple stores to find what the children need at the best possible prices.
Here's what it will take to equip them for the first day:
- 7 backpacks = $131
- 7 lunchboxes with bowls & water bottles = $136
- 14 pairs of shoes (class + PE) = $520
- 7 sets of undergarments = $120
- notions & tailor for 7 uniforms = $193
- _Total needed to equip all 7 children: $1,100_
Will you help us get them ready? A gift of any size can help put new shoes on little feet, backpacks on small shoulders, and the supplies for a successful school year into our children's hands.
Thank you for helping the children of Angel House begin the school year prepared, confident, and ready to belong.
