# Laravel web apps and Volunteering

### August 2025

Who wants another back to school post?! Ew, I know. But I am back to work, and the kids are back to school, and we are chugging along, adjusting to our ridiculous routines. 😅  
  
As a former math teacher I love problem solving, and providing for low-socio-economic status kiddos has always been top priority. My most recent creation was a quick and dirty Laravel web app that helps teachers combine all their wish lists and donation links on a customized landing page. This makes it easier for community members to easily contribute to a classroom and its students.  
  
Oh and the whole "batteries included" Laravel expression is no joke. You can really bust out a sleek and fully functional web app in no time. 😍  
  
Something new that I am doing is volunteering with the Houston Area Suicide Prevention Coalition. We're working on resdesigning some of their webpages and it's been an eye opening experience in many ways. 💜  
  
I hope y'all are doing well. Special shout out to my friends, family, and community members who have been so supportive and kind during the different parts of this journey. ❤️
