I continue to be amazed at the outpouring of support for our charity and those we serve. In less than 24 hours, we have already raised $1400, online, to pay for the cost of getting school supplies to the flood ravaged town of Baker, LA so that the students have the materials they need to head back to school.
The Baker community, with a population of 13,500, was hard hit by the flooding two weeks ago. It wasn't the only portion devastated but it took a severe blow.
The supplies, $14,000 worth, have been ordered and they should arrive around Sept. 6th. There still is an opportunity to help the students, parents, and the school community by making a donation. If you want to donate you can send a check to Dick Flesher, 14004 John Humphrey Dr., Orland Park, IL. 60462. Make the check payable to Schools Count Corp and in the lower left corner of the check write the word 'Baker.' You can also donate online by going to our website, www.schoolscountcorp.org and clicking on the 'donate' key.
Please accept my thanks, in advance, for your generosity. Let me know if you have questions or would like further details concerning our efforts to aid those in need.
Dick
