Please Help Comfy Cozy in Pre-K through DonorsChoose.org link included

I received this e-mail from a friend and wanted to pass it along.

I was going to rewrite

but I could not possibly do it justice;

so, this is exactly how I received it.

Please if you can donate please do so

and

if you are unable to donate

please send this link to everyone you know.

Maybe somebody else will be able to help.

Thanks

Dear friends,
I want my students to have as many great learning opportunities as possible, but
sometimes I just can't get the funding I need.

To address this issue, I turned
to DonorsChoose.org.
Here's the scoop.

At this nonprofit website,

public school teachers (like me!)
submit proposals for materials or experiences their students need to learn.
These ideas become a reality when concerned individuals (like you!)

choose projects to fund.

Donors who complete project funding

or give more than $100
receive photos and personal thank-you notes

from the kids they helped.

It's easy - and very rewarding.
The great news is that my project proposal,

Comfy Cozy in Pre-K,

is now posted
at DonorsChoose.org!

Check it out at:
http://www.donorschoose.org/donors/proposal.html?id=184293&utm_source=teachers&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=TeacherMarketing
Take a look.

Also, please consider supporting my students

and me by forwarding
this message to others who may be interested in improving education.
As a reminder,

I am at a year round school

and have students now

who would love
to use this item!

Thanks for your help!

Best regards,

Cari Wilcox

Charities on My Space (links included)

Here is just a small sampling

of the non-profit organizations and charities listed on Myspace.

If you go to one of them

you can always check their friends

to see who else is on Myspace.

It is a good jumping point.

You can always try typing in a charitable organization

or some other organization

to see if they have a Myspace too.

All of these had a way to donate,

but some were better at

giving detail information about their organization.

They all had links to their website though

and that is where you

will probably get the most

and best information for any of the organizations.

The Charity Guide--Find Charities In Your Area

I have been looking for ways to find out about charities in my area and I came across this website where you can find charities all across the nation. How cool is that!!!

This is a non-profit website that was designed to help to inform and educate people on various charities.

I originally was going just for the Women's Resource Center and came across this website for the whole nation; so, of course I had to let everyone know.

The Women's Resource Center helps ABUSED WOMEN AND CHILDREN.

If you live in the area and have items or cash to donate please let them know. If you are not sure if you have something they can use please call them and ask them what they need. That would probably be better anyway to call first in case they have too many of one type of item and not enough of something else. When I was taking a speech class we actually did a presentation on the Women's Resource Center and learned how hard it is sometimes to help abused women and children.

It is still hard to believe that in this country at this time in history that men and women think that it is still okay to be abusive towards others. It is even harder to believe that people still put up with it. Just think how much better this world would be if we all taught that it is not okay to abuse others and did something to help when we see it.

Just something to think about the next time you get angry or do not want to get involved. Even a little help is better than no help. People need to know that someone out here cares about what happens to them.
