Kaitlyn Martinez founded the organization Backpacks 4 Kids AZ when one of her friends failed a homework assignment because she did not have pencil and paper at home and was too embarrassed to tell their teacher. With the love and support from family, friends and members of the community, she has been able to help over 500 students experiencing poverty obtain necessary supplies for doing homework and attending classes. Kaitlyn’s organization empowers kids from low-income families and raises their chances of staying in the school.
