"Thank you and everyone at YCEEF so much for your generous grant for power supplies. It may seem like a small thing, but to us, it’s huge. With your support, we’re able to keep our classroom running smoothly—literally powering the tools and devices our students rely on to learn, create, and explore every day.
Your generosity has brought a real sense of relief and excitement. It’s one less barrier for us and one more opportunity for students to thrive in a space that supports their curiosity and growth. We’re deeply grateful for your belief in what we do and in the potential of our students.
Please find our receipt for the power supplies attached. As they were on sale at the time of ordering, we were able to purchase 2 additional units with the funds provided!
I will be unable to attend the board meeting, but please feel free to share this message.
With heartfelt thanks."
