Saddharth's Eagle Scout Project

Siddharth is supporting the mission of Little Hearts of Hope for his Eagle Scout Project. Little Hearts of Hope supports children ages 4-14 that have a parent or sibling fighting cancer by teaching creative expression as a healthy coping skill. 

The main task is to build 8 5-foot storage shelves for Little Hearts of Hope. These shelves will be clean and organized, and will serve as the organization's main way of storing the supplies that are integral to their cause. Each shelf will include 5 - 12 in. tall, 4 feet wide sections to sort different items. Additionally each shelf will have a back brace and wheels for maneuverability. It will be made out of plywood.

The shelves they have are no longer functional and they need to be replenished. These shelves are crucial, as they not only store but organize their supplies for their main operation. The shelves must be strong enough to hold numerous supplies and pre-assembled packages in a convenient way. Doing this will allow Little Hearts of Hope with their work and continue to benefit this community.

Funds will be used for the supplies needed listed below. If there is any surplus after everything is purchased, the funds will go directly to Little Hearts of Hope for purchasing supplies for the packages that they send out.
