All that we need, we can buy ourselves,» said Kelly. «We started to look for information about the different charity events that we could implement, and as a teacher I really liked the idea of buying school supplies. So I talked about it with Matt, and we decided to do it.»
Kelly’s husband supported her. Each guest was asked want to donate a backpack filled with school supplies.
Kelly, who has been a teacher for 7 years, told that all guests «received a small description of who they buy supplies, what size the backpack is and what exactly needs to be stationery.

«As a teacher, I notice that not all children go to school with new things,» said Kelly. «And it is also noticeable that the children are always very excited about the little things: a backpack or new shoes. It is so important that each of them could be happy and many teachers even spend their money on their students.
