Poverty is a Nightmare

By Jennifer Cullenbine | CEO and Founder

The key to success!
The key to success!

Have you ever had that nightmare of showing up to a meeting or an exam completely unprepared? You feel the panic of underperforming. The fear of looming failure. Finally, you wake up in a cold sweat; relieved to find that it was only a dream.

For students from low-income families, this dream is oftentimes their reality. Many of these families are already forced to make the impossible choice between paying rent and putting food on the table. Essential school supplies become luxury items that are simply unaffordable. By providing a backpack filled with grade-appropriate school supplies, you are giving students the joy and comfort that comes from being able to walk into class prepared to learn and succeed.

A teacher at a partner school in the Ravenswood School District in East Palo Alto describes this feeling of relief:

The support that the families get from the backpacks with supplies has been invaluable. Our families struggle to make it in the Bay Area with many of them living multiple families in living spaces that were not designed for multiple families. Without the Family Giving Tree, our families and students would not be as prepared for school.

As Family Giving Tree strives to provide 37,000 in-need Bay Area students with the tools they need to succeed, your support is critical!  With over 225 partner schools, your gift provides these deserving students with the tools necessary for success.

Ready to succeed!
