Sponsor a Student. Change a Year.
Your donation helps give a Detroit student access to the resources, support, and opportunities they need to learn, grow, and thrive.
Meet Laila.
Laila didn’t raise her hand much.
Not because she didn’t know the answer — but because school often felt overwhelming. Some days she missed breakfast. Some days transportation fell through. Some days big emotions took over.
Then something changed.
A teacher’s assistant sat beside her during reading time.
A social worker connected with her family.
The school received updated curriculum and tutoring support.
There were after-school programs waiting for her each afternoon.
And she knew there would be food in the pantry when she needed it.
Slowly, Laila began raising her hand again.
Then answering questions.
Then asking them.
When a student feels supported, everything changes.
Your donation doesn’t support one child — it strengthens the programs thousands rely on.
