Asking For Help (donorschoose.org)

Hello, fellow redditors. My wife is an art teacher for a title 1 school, in North Carolina and desperately needs your help to purchase supplies for her students. Title 1 indicates that a majority of the students are from low income families and are on free or reduced lunches. I've witnessed several random acts of kindness on reddit and was hoping that with a little reddit backing, we could give the 270+ kids that my wife teaches the supplies they need to spark their creative side and maybe bring a little added joy to their day.

Now, anyone that donates $10 or more, I'll have my wife create some form of a sketch to your liking, whether it be in Photoshop or on a notepad, or something. She has mentioned that anything involving turtles, dinosaurs, or monsters would be pretty sweet. Just include your reddit name somewhere in the donation, and I'll make sure she follows through with your request.
