Help Mr. A.

I teach computer technology as a resource to low income students in IL. They are 3rd through 6th grade students that are in desperate need of a functional mouse for 10 computers.

This is an inner city public school in a low income community. The school is strapped for funds and its only October. Most of these students don't have a computer of any kind or have never been on a computer. These students deserve a chance to be technologically educated. But, this can not happen without the correct computer hardware. I would very much appreciate any kind of donation to this school to better educate these deserving students.

I need 10 optical mice for the school computer lab because they are missing the tracker balls or just missing. We are in the middle of a research project and many students are falling behind because they cant navigate the Internet without a mouse.

Your donation will definitely make a difference. With your donation the computers will be functional for years to come. The school administration will be happy and most of all our children will be happy. Without your donation these students may have to wait until next year to complete any kind of typed or research assignments. As a result, academic failure will occur. Thank You for your kind consideration.
