Help out a teacher? - TheBlob - 09-03-2014
(If it's preferred that this sort of things isn't shared here, I'll happily remove/ be fine with an admin taking this down.)
As some of you know (and more don't since it really doesn't pertain to things in-game!), my husband and I teach in a special education classroom (middle school).
I love my job! I love my students and I love the challenges that I have to work through and the on-my-toes problems solving that I have to do daily in order to help my students be as successful as possible.
What I don't like is how much funding we don't have. Our district is great! However, just like most other schools, we lack a lot of the funds we need for materials outside of the 'teach in the box', 'pass the test' supplies.
This is where you can help!
I've set up a Donor's Choose fundraising page to get donations to support our class as we try to build up our sensory supplies for the large influx of new students we got this year, all of which had way more need for these items than we've ever had to use in the past and as such we've been left a little wanting.
You can find that page here.
While I would love for you all do donate to our project, generally, I would just like each of you to take a look around the site and perhaps look out for a school in your local area that could be in need of a little extra funding from a donor. It really means the world to us when people reach out and help with a few dollars here and there. Anything to save us dipping into our own pockets again, at least for this list of supplies.

Thanks for taking a moment to look this over!
((PS: Donating to our class will get you an awesome handmade thank you card... Well.. so will the other classes.... but.. ours will be more awesome... Just saying.
PPS (cause I didn't realize this): If you donate through DC over $50 you'll get the card.. but if you let me know you donated anything at all in a PM and you want a card, you shall get a card!
PPPS: If you use the code INSPIRE when donating by September 6th, your donations will be matched dollar for dollar up to $100 per donation!))
