The start of my project
To start my project, I knew I would need some donations. I was hoping to be able to re-paint the room to make it lighter, as well as add a new TV, comfortable chairs, and stimulating books and games. First, I reached out to friends who were able to donate books for the common room. Then, I wrote a donation letter and asked Home Depot and Lowe's for paint donations. Home Depot was able to donate paint and paint supplies, while Lowe's was also able to donate paint supplies. Me and my friends were also able to hold a lemonade stand, and we were able to raise about $200! I also reached out to other local businesses, which were able to donate the funds for the new TV, chairs, and 2 new floor lamps. Through my project, I hope to inspire others to help their communities, and better the lives of those around them. Especially within todays unprecedented times, living happily, with adequate resources, is extremely important. A great common room is often where individuals come together, so I wanted to ensure I could make the common room as great as it can be in order to facilitate healthy relationships and enjoyment of stimulating books and games.
