Disabled individuals seeking computer donations
Even though the IRS does not allow tax deductions for donations given to individuals, we urge you to consider making a gift of your recently retired computer to a person with a disability.
Your used computer (Pentium 4, or better - Macintosh G4-G5, or better) could have a significant impact on someone's life and perhaps a tax deduction might not be the most important consideration.
Your gift could provide an opening to the outside world for a person with limited mobility or confined to bed. Disabled individuals are often the least able to afford computers even though they could benefit the most from the access to the outside world, family and friends a computer and the Internet could provide. Please think about helping someone in need.

I need a Desktop Computer with a larger screen because of my failing eye-sight. I would like to have a Pentium 3 or better, with Microsoft Mllinium or better, a CDRW-DVD drive, and a 3.5" drive, ample physical memory, and a 40gb hard drive or better. I will use the computer to keep in touch with my friends and family, and to do research on medical treatments for my heart disorder. Surfing the Internet is also fun, and keeps my mind busy. If you can help, please email Mr. Bryson or call 208-476-3514
