My sister and I had the same issues for school, despite my parents doing everything they could for us. Awesome people like you helped my parents during tough times to ensure the school year would go well for us. I just want to thank you and anyone else doing what they can to help kids’ education and future. 💙
I always loved back to school shopping -- new crayons, pens, pencils, tablets -- Oh My -- I love it. Thanks Mary for sharing -- It brings back fond memories.
You are so wonderful for volunteering to buy these supplies for students. Such a kind and sweet gesture. You have touched my heart. I teach in a title one school and we do not send out a supply list. I personally buy the school supplies for each one of my students every year. I know the teachers of the students you are buying for are truly grateful. You're the best.
What a kind soul to do this. We don’t have anything like this in the UK which is a shame there are lots of families in need of school items! Well done Mary! X
I used to get depressed seeing back to school signs in the stores. I dreaded going back with every part of me. The happiness of summer vacation was my everything. Supplies are cute and fun but having to go back to school was everything but that. Feels good to be free now.
As a parent that has struggled I am very grateful for people like yourself. Not once in this did you say anything that showed and belittling or negativity towards the people you are helping. It’s not always easy to be the one asking for help. Also you picked things out that you would give to your children. I listen to a lot of your videos and enjoy them. Thank you for being so giving to others.
Mary you have a Heart of Gold. I have had to depend on people like you when my Son was in Elementary School. I am not ashamed just very appreciative and Blessed.
I would like you to know that I appreciate you very much for doing this! Working with these kids is hard but parents like you help us tons to help them not feel lesser than their peers.
I think it's hilarious that Mary is just going about her daily life, doing her shopping like the rest of us, with the added caveat that 42,000+ people are watching. Such an awesome channel.
Mary, will you do a video of you separating their supplies into their backpacks? I’m 32 and addicted to school and office supplies! I bought a laminator last year because I was bored working from home during the plague.
As a teacher, I appreciate you helping thisSO much! They will be so excited to start the school year with great supplies! You are truly making a difference. And thanks for bringing us along!
@@SouthernASMRSounds oh of course! It’s so overwhelming being in store, so much to look at! Felt like we were there with you :) I have to admit I’m fan-girling at the fact that you responded!
That pen _seems_ to be the only miracle produced by that church... All joking aside, thank you for having such a tender heart for those in need; whether it's buying/picking out work clothes for people, to donating the proceeds of your wreaths to charity, to this. You're leaving lasting memories, and all the while making great ASMR videos for us. You'll never know just how much people appreciate you.
You’ve inspired me to help those in need. I’ve signed up with my town school district and I’ll be buying supplies for a family. Thanks for always being wonderful!
so nice of u, growing up i was one of the kids that would get supplies from other parents or teachers, it helps out so much and definitely made me feel less embarrassed cause i had everything i needed
Interesting, in Poland (back when I was going to school anyway) there weren't any detailed lists like that, parents knew that a kid needed notebooks for each class (some kids would use one for many subjects, as it always happens), something to write with and a few subject-specific items (like a ruler for Maths or some paint for Art classes). There was no "bulk buying", you just buy what you need and a teacher might tell you in the middle of the semester that 'hey, we will be using crayons next week' so you buy the kid some crayons. The parent could decide what quantity of supplies the kid needs so the initial purchase wasn't as hard for the wallet. On the other hand you could clearly see class differences between the kids.
It's still generally the same in the United States. You are more likely to find a school or district taking on a more generalized and most likely a poorly organized effort in taking mass donations. These school lists are a more recent practice (as I imagine it helps on multiple fronts, i.e getting more specific needs met, being a far more organized and cleaner process and it probably helps to some degree in the anti bullying department and it helps a kid to know that their community cares a bit.) You also see the wealthier and more public of people looking to boost the public relations and charity games for various reasons, most of which are good....probably.... 😜
I never even considered before that in other countries they aren’t asked to provide school supplies and how bizarre it is that we need to do that for public schools… really alienating for children whose family cannot afford everything too.
I'm not a griper and I've happily donated supplies to schools but no student in the history of human civilization has used more than a single glue stick in their educational journey. Don't even get me started on those loose pink eraser jokes lol talk about useless junk 🤣
shopping for school supplies was one of my favorite things to do when i was younger! i graduated last year during the pandemic so i didn’t get to shop for anything :( this is bringing up such good memories
I'm going to be a junior in high school and have always looked forward to school shopping lol. I have the dates for tax free weekend set in my calender lol. I would totally take you with me if i could, but I'll keep you in spirit!😘
@@brookeg6670 i had lists for my elementary and middle schools. And after that point my siblings and I just just reused and used whatever extras we had at home and bought whatever speciality stuff like binders or calculators we needed. Some of my teachers after the first day have had wishlists as well
yeah, here in the Philippines, the local government provides everything the students needs, from uniforms, PE uniform, black shoes, rubber shoes, socks, school supplies, bags, everything 😁 also for the teacher's supplies. And in private schools like where my son is enrolled, the supplies, bags, socks, lunch bags are included in the tuition fees so we dont really buy school stuff anymore,we just need to buy them school uniform and books, that is why i missed buying school supplies, its fun!
As a teacher it made my heart happy to see you grab the Ticonderoga pencils. 😂 I laughed the first time a teacher told me she had a favorite brand of pencils. After having to sharpen ALL of the kids' pencils with a hand-crank sharpener because of COVID, though, I very quickly understood. Ticonderoga for the win!
Omggg I literally watched one yesterday from her old vids and I was like “aww I miss going shopping with Mary” AND NOW WE AREEEE YAYYYY thank you Mary 💜💜💜
I've been going through all of these videos in the stores, organizing ones as well, and they've helped me so much. Aside from the fact that I, myself, am a bit of a chronic organizer (including stores, oops), there's something about it that just seems to help me with my anxiety and depression; putting order where I can eases the feeling of despair for not being able to organize, or control, that which I cannot. Thank you so much for doing these videos. They truly make a difference to a lot of us, I believe.
You're absolutely awesome! Getting the coolest stuff for kids in need. I'm 16, in 10th grade and back when I needed all that stuff my mom tried to get stuff but we always couldn't afford it. I'm so thankful that you're doing this for these kids!
You are such blessing beautiful lady.... helping others in ways you never will know. Just know we love you and appreciate you so much.... thank you Mary.
You have a heart of gold, Mary! In case you don't get a thank you, let me say thank you. I teach 7th grade and there are always kids that don't have supplies. It sure takes a village.
This was always my favorite part of school, shopping for school supplies, I love them! I'm 30 and still love supplies like this 😂 Thanks for making this video!
I wish I watched this one first 🤣 you explained how it all works here and i asked in your other video. You are such a kind and giving person, Mary you spread so much joy ❤
Here in the netherlands ( when i was in primary school ) we didn't need to get stuff for the school but we needed to decorate and fill a shoebox with schoolstuff and toiletries for children in Africa. It is called schoenmaatjes, i loved doing it and knowing i'd make a child happy with a decorated package full of gifts :)
Hey Mary as a young lady who just went through the 7th grade and is going into 8th I think the 7th grader girl would highley appreciate an emergency girl kit if your a woman you know its better to be prepared and not have to stress instead of being unprepared and worry. I also just want to thank you for providing these kids who may not have much with not just school supplies but little extra gifts . You have motivated me to do this when I'm grown. I did not sleep much last night and even though your not whispering your still so relaxing. Sorry for rambling.
Here in France we have supplies lists too in public school. BUT for people who have not enough money, you get money from the state for buying it. It is very controverse because some of them doesn't use it the good way. As a solo mum, i'am very thankfull for having it for my kids. They don't have to feel ashame.
I just have to say that you are so amazing and you are a beautiful soul to help these other children, even if they don't understand what this means. But you are so kind to do that.
I hated school growing up but I loved certain teachers. Now, as an adult, I enjoy learning. I think most people hate because it's forced and a lot of kids are held to unreasonable standards and get bullied and or left out. I'm hoping this year is different for everyone, God bless, and if you're reading this dreading school just know you're gonna be okay and I promise everything is gonna be great
I was just watching the supplies videos from previous years and wondering when this would be here. Yay! Thanks for lighting up my otherwise cloudy day. ☀️
You are so sweet for buying other kids school supplies ♥️ I always buy extra for my son in case someone in his class don’t have any! I would like to buy supplies for a little girl I don’t know we’re to go to find someone in need , this is amazing!
Oh my I just graduated and this video reminded me of when I was going into high school and was so excited to finally get a binder. Time flies, thanks for this!!
Bringing water bottles to school is like the best change that has happened to school children. We weren't allowed to bring water bottles to school when I was in school, and we just had to wait for the opportunity to get to line up at the drinking fountain. We must have been perpetually dehydrated.
Hi! Thank you so much for this video!! I broke up with my boyfriend this week and decided to quit medical school and this video was the only thing that helped me to get some sleep this week. I wish you all the best!
I'm from the UK so loved watching this. Very interesting that you supply the kids things' and very kind of you, it must have cost a fortune! In the UK, the schools buy our equipment and supplies. Thanks for sharing :)
Hey there my dear Mary, You are doing something very awesome for such needy kids! I enjoyed this shopping trip so much!! I can’t wait to see the rest of the shopping and see how you put it all together hon… Love ya hon… 🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼
I’m going into 7th grade to! And I love these videos ! This is so nice u do this for kids! Cause some kids can’t stuff like that! Your very blessed, and special!
The schools here in Finland (up to high school/vocational schools) do provide the bare minimum supplies, but we buy school supplies for kids anyway - nicer notebooks, better pencils and pens, decent crayons/color pencils, fun pencil holders etc. So basically, we don't get lists but basically everyone buys supplies. :D
Not really to high school if you mean lukio. I needed to buy a laptop and tons of books. They didn’t provide a thing! But i do agree with what you are saying overall :)
in my country we don't have those, but it'd be so cool! I remember my mom used to save money the whole year to get us the basics and maybe some stickers. we would make them last forever though! I still have some of them haha. poverty is in high rates in my country, and most suffering it are kids (statistically). understandably, people get defensive with money, so yeah, even if we had those lists I doubt the effectiveness of it all. I admire you for buying the children good quality stuff, and even caring about their preferences! that's so sweet. - sorry for my english, I'm learning 🌼
My dream is to one day be able to do this! Just fill up a few backpacks with the supplies a few kids somewhere need. I'd be so over-organized with the lists though and create one shopping list so I wouldn't miss anything lol... like scan each list and total up how many crayons, how many notebooks, etc. That would be part of the fun for me.. making the shopping list haha. Your voice is so sweet
Wow the first video I saw of yours was 2 years ago when you were shopping for school supplies. Me and your oldest are in the same grade so I was using you as a reference of what I would need. Thanks for the help Mary!
What kid is gonna go through four packs of crayons?!!! I grew up in the US having to get supplies but never did I ever go through one pack of crayons in a school year, let alone FOUR
My sister and I had the same issues for school, despite my parents doing everything they could for us. Awesome people like you helped my parents during tough times to ensure the school year would go well for us. I just want to thank you and anyone else doing what they can to help kids’ education and future. 💙
“She’s gonna be a coloring fool this year” 😂😂 I just love the way your humor flows so naturally
right cuz who in the world needs 4 boxes

What a kind soul to do this. We don’t have anything like this in the UK which is a shame there are lots of families in need of school items! Well done Mary! X
Well schools in England provide everything from stationary companies..
I used to get depressed seeing back to school signs in the stores. I dreaded going back with every part of me. The happiness of summer vacation was my everything. Supplies are cute and fun but having to go back to school was everything but that. Feels good to be free now.

Girl your asmr is the best 😭💛
Thank you so much! 😊
My kids are going to a new school this year. I was amazed at how different lists are from school to school.
Anyone find themselves yelling at the screen “no Mary it’s right there! One shelf down!” 😂

It's normally not that quiet. I went really early in the morning to get that peacefulness!
I work there and in the morning it's pretty dead quiet, it starts getting busy on the weekends around 10-11 am.
I swear you’re the most cutest and wholesome little channel I’ve ever seen ahh I love it!!
Thank you so much!!
I just found your organization videos a week ago and I literally cannot stop watching. I love them!!!
As a graduate i love shopping back to school for office things that are cheaper this time of year.

so lovely of you to do this, school supplies can be so expensive when added together
I appreciate how you always have your nails clean and painted, love you Mary 💛
"you have worked for 20 years now, dont die on me now" LMAO IM CRYING
that’s a lot of stuff, my momma would’ve never been able to afford all that for us 😭😭
The schools here in Finland (up to high school/vocational schools) do provide the bare minimum supplies, but we buy school supplies for kids anyway - nicer notebooks, better pencils and pens, decent crayons/color pencils, fun pencil holders etc. So basically, we don't get lists but basically everyone buys supplies. :D
Not really to high school if you mean lukio. I needed to buy a laptop and tons of books. They didn’t provide a thing! But i do agree with what you are saying overall :)
"that is so cahhuuute!!!" YOU ARE THE BEST
"look at all the flavors of deodorant" lmao im dead
You make shopping so much better and not super stressful.
YAY THIS IS THE THING I LOOK FORWARD TOO EVERY YEAR
I remember getting my favorite backpack through a similar thing to this and I still am happy when I think of it
Precious little boy wanting something for his momma. ♥️
in my country we don't have those, but it'd be so cool! I remember my mom used to save money the whole year to get us the basics and maybe some stickers. we would make them last forever though! I still have some of them haha.
poverty is in high rates in my country, and most suffering it are kids (statistically). understandably, people get defensive with money, so yeah, even if we had those lists I doubt the effectiveness of it all.
I admire you for buying the children good quality stuff, and even caring about their preferences! that's so sweet.

Wow the first video I saw of yours was 2 years ago when you were shopping for school supplies. Me and your oldest are in the same grade so I was using you as a reference of what I would need. Thanks for the help Mary!
The little surprise for each is so cute.
What kid is gonna go through four packs of crayons?!!! I grew up in the US having to get supplies but never did I ever go through one pack of crayons in a school year, let alone FOUR
Because it’s for the whole classroom
Same here. I have 5 kids the 3 older ones never needed that many but my 6 year old twins needed 4 a piece this year
Thank you so much for your kindness and pure heart! I hope you have a great day!
