Win, collaborating with Airbnb, launched a giveaway to support homeless children in New York City by distributing 3,000 backpacks filled with supplies at the Rosa Parks family shelter. Christine Quinn emphasized the importance of new supplies for children, as they not only aid in academic success but prevent bullying. In NYC, last year, one in eight public school students experienced homelessness, with significant rates of school mobility and dropout. Win offers various resources to help children address the trauma associated with homelessness and prepare them for school success.
"Last year, one in eight New York City public school students were homeless. On average, they attended two to three different schools a year."
"We know children, they bully, and when they see somebody with a used backpack or an old pen or crumpled up paper notebook, and they know there's a shelter in the neighborhood, which people know, they pick on those kids as the 'shelter kids,' and it happens every day."
