Ma kahi o hoʻokahi hola a kokoke i $140 ma hope mai, ua puka ʻo ia i waho o Target ma ke kaona o Wakinekona, me nā ʻeke i piha i nā lako kula.

ʻOi aku ia ma mua o nā lako kula: Ma hea lākou e hana ai a i ʻole ka nui o kā lākou loaʻa kālā, manaʻo nā kumu i ka hoʻowahāwahā ʻia

I kekahi Lāpule i ka hopena o ʻAukake, ua hele ʻo Moskowitz, he kumu aʻo Kula Aupuni ʻo Montgomery County, a puni ʻo Target me kāna ipo kāne, ke kumu ʻenekinia kula kiʻekiʻe ʻo George Lavelle. Aʻo ʻo Moskowitz i nā keiki kula kamaliʻi me nā pono kūikawā ma ke kikowaena aʻo ʻo Carl Sandburg ma Rockville, Maryland, he hapalua hola ma waho o Wakinekona.

Ke hoʻopiha nei ke kumu ʻo Lauren Moskowitz i kāna kaʻa me nā mea i kūʻai ʻia ma kahi Rockville, Md. Target ma ʻAukake 18, 2019.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Moskowitz he nui aku nā pono o kāna lumi papa no nā haumāna me nā pono kūikawā ma mua o nā lumi papa ʻē aʻe, akā hāʻawi wale ke kalana i ke kālā ma ke ʻano no kēlā me kēia haumāna ma ka ʻāpana.

"ʻOi aku ka lōʻihi o kāu kālā ma ke kula hoʻonaʻauao gen ma mua o ke kula me nā pono kūikawā," wahi a Moskowitz. No ka laʻana, ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia, ʻoi aku ke kumukūʻai o nā ʻūpā adaptive, no nā keiki me ka lohi i nā mākau motor maikaʻi, ma mua o nā ʻūpā maʻamau.

He ʻāpana nui ka meaʻai o ka papa inoa a Moskowitz, mai Apple Jacks a i Veggie Straws a i nā pretzels, no ka mea, pōloli pinepine kāna mau haumāna i nā manawa i hāʻule ʻole ai i ka wā ʻaina awakea.

Me nā ʻūpī pēpē no nā haumāna i aʻo ʻole ʻia e hoʻohana i ka lua, ua kūʻai ʻo Moskowitz i nā māka, ka chalk ma ke alanui a me nā penikala jumbo - maikaʻi no nā keiki i loko o ka hana lapaʻau. Ua uku ʻo ia no ia mea a pau mai kāna uku he $90,000, ʻo ia hoʻi kāna kekelē laeoʻo a me 15 mau makahiki o ka ʻike.

ʻElua lā ma hope mai, ua hele like ke kumu makemakika ʻo Ali Daniels o Montgomery County, ma waena o Target lāua ʻo Staples ma Greenbelt, Maryland.

No Daniels, ʻo ka hoʻokumu ʻana i kahi ʻano lumi papa maikaʻi kekahi kumu nui e hoʻolilo nei ʻo ia i kāna kālā i nā lako kula. Me nā mea pono maʻamau no ke kula, ua kūʻai pū ʻo Daniels i nā ʻala no kāna mea hoʻomehana kukui Glade: Clean Linen a me Sheer Vanilla Embrace.

"He manawa hoʻāʻo ke kula waena, a makemake wau e ʻoluʻolu a hauʻoli lākou," wahi a Alexandra Daniels, nāna e aʻo i nā haumāna papa ʻeono ma ke Kula Waena Hikina ma Montgomery County, Maryland.

"Hele lākou i loko o koʻu lumi; he ʻoluʻolu ko lākou ʻano. E ʻoluʻolu ko lākou ʻala," wahi a Daniels. "He manawa hoʻāʻo ke kula waena, a makemake wau e ʻoluʻolu a hauʻoli lākou, a makemake pū wau e ʻoluʻolu a hauʻoli."

Ma ke Kula Waena Hikina ma Silver Spring, kahi a Daniels e aʻo ai i ka makemakika no nā papa ʻeono a me ʻehiku, ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia he 15 a 20 mau keiki e komo i loko o kāna lumi papa me ka ʻole o nā lako mai ka home. Ua kūpono ʻo Eastern no ke kālā Title I mai ke kālā aupuni pekelala, kahi e hele ana i nā kula me ka nui o nā haumāna mai nā ʻohana haʻahaʻa loa.

I kona wā kūʻai ma Staples lāua ʻo Target, ua kūʻai ʻo Daniels i nā puke liʻiliʻi, nā mea hoʻopaʻa, a me nā penikala no nā haumāna nele.

I loko o hoʻokahi makahiki, ua manaʻo ʻo Daniels ua hoʻolilo ʻo ia i $500 a i $1,000 o kāna kālā ponoʻī no nā lako kula. ʻO kāna uku makahiki: $55,927.

"Hōʻike ia i ka makemake nui o nā kumu a me ko mākou makemake e holomua kā mākou mau keiki," wahi a Daniels. "ʻAʻole lākou e hiki ke holomua e like me ka hiki iā lākou inā ʻaʻole i hāʻawi ʻia iā lākou nā lako e pono ai."

He kumu papa ʻeono ʻo Alexandra Daniels ma ke Kula Waena Hikina ma Montgomery County, Md. Ua hoʻohana ʻo ia i kāna kālā ponoʻī e kūʻai i kēia mau lako kula.

I kona haʻalele ʻana mai Staples me ka bila ma mua o $170, ua loaʻa iā Daniels kahi lokomaikaʻi i manaʻo ʻole ʻia. Ua hāʻawi ke kālā i ke kumu i kahi hoʻēmi kūikawā he 10% no nā limahana i kona hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana iā Daniels no ka lawelawe ʻana i ke kaiāulu.

ʻO Ali Daniels, he kumu makemakika ma ke Kula Waena Hikina ma Silver Spring, Maryland, ke hōʻike nei i kāna papa inoa kūʻai no kāna lumi papa.

ʻOiai ʻaʻole i emi ka nui o kā lākou hoʻolilo kālā ma mua o ka awelika o ka noiʻi a ke Keʻena Hoʻonaʻauao ma kahi o $500, ua ʻōlelo ʻo Daniels lāua ʻo Moskowitz ʻaʻole i pau kā lāua kūʻai ʻana.

Ua hoʻolālā nā kumu ʻelua e kūʻai ma Amazon a i ʻole ma kahi ʻē aʻe ma ka pūnaewele. Ke ʻimi nei lāua i nā uku hoʻēmi ma nā mea e like me nā penikala kolepa no nā keiki e aʻo ana pehea e kākau ai a me ka mea wehe makeup no ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻana i nā papa holoi maloʻo.

Ua ʻōlelo lāua ʻelua ʻo kā lāua mau huakaʻi kūʻai hoʻi i ke kula ka mea mua o nā huakaʻi kālā ponoʻī he nui e hoʻopiha hou i nā lako i loko o ka makahiki - "ʻakaʻaka," wahi a Moskowitz.

"Inā ua uku kūpono ʻia mākou i ka hoʻomaka ʻana, ʻo ia kekahi mea," wahi āna. "ʻAʻole mākou i uku ʻia e like me ko mākou pae hoʻonaʻauao."
