7's Hero: West Ada School District social workers help homeless students during COVID-19 pandemic

Erin Bryant serves homeless and unaccompanied students in the West Ada School District as one of the district's social workers. Erin was recently named a 7's Hero by local station KTVB! Congratulations, Erin! Thank you for all that you do for our community!

Erin and the other district social workers of West Ada depend upon resources like Project Kids to help provide items for at-risk and homeless students in the West Ada District. Your donation makes a huge difference in the lives of these students.

Does Project Kids really help?

Courtney, a counselor in the West Ada School District, shared this thank you note to Project Kids from a student's mother:

"Since I was diagnosed with lung cancer, things have been extremely difficult for me as well as my son. He has and is trying to be very strong for me. I have been constantly going to the doctor, emergency rooms, specialist and so far medical bills are over $46,000 and counting. I have been struggling to keep my job because of my absences relating to the continuous doctors visits. The medical bills has placed my family’s finances in a financial crisis.

I wanted to thank you for the gift cards that were given to my son and I for food. It was truly an act of love and tenderness. My son and I are extremely grateful. The gift cards came at a time when we needed it most."

Do you know of a West Ada student who's struggling? Please contact a district teacher, coach, or counselor, and have them contact us. We are here to help.
