Disabled individuals in Missouri 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.

My youngest is bipolar and has many other behavioral and learning problems. I am working on an M. Div in Biblical Counseling and this degree requires a lot of writing and research. I can no longer take notes by hand for any period of time due to arthritis but typing is easy for me. It takes much longer for me to research and write a paper because of the arthritis and a computer would make this make easier and faster. Seeking Pentium IV, or better, PC. If you can help, please email Ms. Briggs
