We Could Use Your Help

As the weeks, months and years go by and Schools Count Corp. endeavors to continue to serve children in the Chicagoland area and elsewhere, it seems as though we can just assume or hope that conditions are getting better for those that need the assistance.   The fact of the matter is that this is not what is happening in the various neighborhoods.

Now that spring is upon us (well at least yesterday was a great day!) I am in the process of determining who to serve, how many students are involved, the cost of supplies, determining what we have available to spend and more.  Speaking of more, there are 11 schools being shut down by CPS for the coming fall.  That doesn't mean that these students don't exist, they are simply being relocated and often at schools we've never worked with but also need the help.

The bottom line is this...we will be bringing supplies to an additional 2,000 to 3,000 students beyond what we provided last fall.  That means we could really use an an additional $5,000 to $7,000 beyond what we've already collected through our generous donors and via grants.

I am reaching out to one and all, asking you to consider making a tax deductible charitable donation to purchase supplies for these children.  You can donate via our website, www.schoolscountcorp.org and using a credit card or by mailing a check to Richard Flesher, 20048 S. Kohlwood Dr., Mokena, IL. 60448.
Thank you for your consideration.
