Disabled individuals in Michigan 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.
Heather Lewis writes: I need a computer so my daughter can do school work. Being disabled I am unable to work and can't afford a new one. If you are a parent, I'm sure you can understand the frustration of having a child who needs internet at home to do schoolwork and being unable to help them. Since I am disabled it is difficult to even take her to a public library. I am seeking a Pentium IV (or better) PC. If you can help, please email Ms. Lewis
