Did you know that 1.5 million students in the U.S. experience homelessness each year? 🚸 Homeless students face huge challenges: - 2x more likely to face suspension and chronic absence. - Only 70% graduate, compared to 85% of their peers. 📚 Without essentials like clean underwear, kids struggle with confidence, leading to missed school and perpetuating the cycle of homelessness. We’re aiming to raise $10,000 and collect 5,000 pairs of undies this August. 👇 Let’s make sure they have one less worry this school year. ✨ Donate today and help a child focus on their education, not their underwear. https://lnkd.in/e48cignn ✏️💛 #backtoschoolessentials #studenthomelessness #hygienepoverty
