This is Urgent

Friends of Schools Count,

Below is a note I received from a Counselor at one of the elementary schools we work with in Chicago. I find it both sad and distressing that the children, their families and the school are facing these difficulties. Our charity WILL help them to the extent that we can. I omitted the name of the school and the counselor for obvious reasons (if you would like more info on the school please email me at rich219@comcast.net). They are hurting enough without seeing their names in print. If you would like to contribute towards these items simply send a check payable to Schools Count Corp., Dick Flesher, 20048 S. Kohlwood Dr., Mokena, IL. In the memo section please write the word 'holiday' so that the funds are exclusively used for the items below.

Many thanks,
Dick

I hate to beg but we are hurting...
