When a West Virginia teacher, Erin Fuller-Wellman, shared her classroom's Amazon wishlist online, she never expected Jennifer Garner to see it — or donate!
We join the actress in wishing all the teachers out there their best school year yet! This isn’t the first time Garner has expressed her appreciation for teachers. When Erin shared her message of thanks online, she soon received a response from Garner herself! My first graders are going to have the absolute best year with the help of you two, and I will make sure they know you all made it happen!” “She is truly one of a kind & I’m so proud to say I’m from the same state as her! Garner was born in Texas but moved to West Virginia when she was 3 years old. There were hundreds of other teachers’ wish lists, so I knew it was a shot in the dark, but I put mine on there anyway and I can only assume Jennifer Garner saw my list there.” Everyone’s had a teacher that’s had an impact on them, and everyone knows that teachers have a tough time surviving on their pay.” Finding that extra cash has been especially challenging since COVID hit the economy — that’s why teachers like Erin Fuller-Wellman reached out to a celebrity on Instagram for help. She had already shared her list on her personal social media pages with no luck. Since 2020, Foster has shared links to teacher’s wish lists as a way of giving back. I posted my Amazon wish list on @erinfoster’s site.
