Provide uniforms and school supplies so HHUGS children get the best start to the school year.
The trauma of a father arrested and in prison. The anguish of a family broken and ostracised. The painful memories of bullying from the previous school year. These are the invisible horrors Sara will carry inside of her, on that dreaded first day. Adding to it all might be the shame of wearing an ill-fitting school uniform and old shoes that are hard to walk in. Such noticeable signs of poverty surely mark Sara out for further ridicule… unless you can help.
For HHUGS families, already wrestling with uncertain finances, and crippled by the weight of debt, costly school necessities fast become another burden they cannot afford.
With the odds stacked against them, HHUGS children like Sara don’t stand a chance at a better start to the new school year. Though desperate to fit in, they face social exclusion and narrowing academic opportunities, because poverty prevents them from being able to participate fully in school. For children like Sara, a new uniform and a smart pair of kicks could mean the difference between standing tall in front of their peers and shying from everyone with embarrassment.
Can you help switch the odds for Sara and other children like her, on the first day of term?
