Help Houston

Friends of Schools Count,

Many of you have reached out to me asking how/what ways you can help those in need in various parts of Texas. Over the past couple of days I have made contact with a teacher in Texas who attended Hinsdale Central High School. I also have made a number of contacts with a minister who I have worked with over the years.

Yes, both said that urgent assistance is needed. Schools Count will help in two ways. First, we will provide assistance to Houston and Rockport Schools by providing student supplies and some hygiene products. Second, as conditions unfold and I can get trucks into neighborhoods we will likely have to provide diapers, food, baby formula, water, cleaning supplies and more to various regions. It will take a couple of days for teams to form on the ground to assist with this effort.

Our Board of Directors has enthusiastically endorsed helping our fellow citizens. Right now we need funds to get this effort underway. To make a tax deductible donation towards helping our southern neighbors you can do so in one of two ways. You can go to our charity's website at www.schoolscountcorp.org and click on 'donate.' If you contribute on line please indicate 'Texas' in your note. If you opt to write a check please make it payable to Schools Count Corp. and mail it to Dick Flesher, 9550 140th Court, #112, Orland Park, IL 60462. Kindly write the word 'Texas' in the memo section.

Our goal is to raise $25,000!!! We would appreciate your support no matter the size of the donation.

Just a footnote. My supplier of school supplies just confirmed that they will take care of the entire cost of shipping school supplies!!!

Sincerely,

Dick Flesher, President
