Over 20 backpacks provided to families of children with HIV heading back to school!
Through our 4th Annual Back2School Program, we were able to provide over 20 backpacks filled with school supplies to family with children battling HIV, to get them ready for the start of the new school year.
“We can’t thank you guys enough for the backpacks, as it is one less thing that we had to worry about getting them for school. - a parent
At Onatti Foundation, we know that when a family member is diagnosed with HIV, their whole world changes. Many families do not have the financial means to purchase school supplies for their kids heading back to school. This program allowed us to bring backpacks filled with supplies right to each family’s hospital for their children, so they did not need to worry about shopping.
This day would not have been possible without the support of our friends, donors who came out in full force to donate new school backpacks for the families. Through donations made by our supporters, we were also able to include notebooks, pencils, crayons, etc in each bag as well. Thank you to everyone who helped to make this day possible.
