Hello, my name is Mahdia!

I first became interested to be a Kids Helping Kids Youth ambassador because I love KINF's message as I am also a strong advocate for better education opportunities for students and teachers. Personally, I value going to the stores every year with my mom for back to school shopping and the idea that some kids don't get that excitement at the start of every year is heartbreaking to me. In previous years either through school or on my own I have donated school supplies, but with Kids Helping Kids I feel like I could do even more! Volunteering has been such an important part of my life and I hope that with Kids Helping Kids I can put a smile on at least one underserved kid!

I'll be taking donations for under-resourced teachers and students from March 15th- April 15th. Help me reach my goal of $500!

You can also donate supplies for free via Zappos for Good!

If you'd like to donate supplies:

1. First, fill out our Product Donation Form.
2. Box up new school supplies and new backpacks in any box and tape it closed. Up to 50 lbs per box.
3. Print your special prepaid shipping label at Zappos For Good. Scroll down to the Kids In Need Foundation logo, click on "Print KINF label".
4. Attach the label and drop off your box at any UPS Store!

Make sure to include your tracking #s from your shipping labels on the form so it can be attributed to my campaign!
