A generous donor offered one struggling homeschool family their choice of curriculum. The recipient was chosen using an application-based process, based on the donor's criteria for selection, and here is the official announcement!
The actual application page for the donation is here in case you missed it.
Our latest BRAND NEW CURRICULUM donation was offered by an anonymous donor, who requested that the recipient meet the following criteria:
- a new-to-homeschooling family
- specifically wanted to bless the family with something they needed within the dollar amount provided, in this case, $100.
- also wanted to provide the newbie a resource book for reference.
Out of 114 applicants, there was only one family who fit the donor's criteria perfectly.
The recipient chosen for this donation explained that her family had recently been thrown for a loop with a sudden series of financially devastating events. Her son is a reluctant reader, and she is having trouble doing it on her own.
She requested just the basic package of the All About Reading Pre-Reading program, which costs $79.95 plus $9.95 shipping. She will receive her request, and also will receive a paperback copy of the book, The Homeschooling Book of Answers: The 101 Most Important Questions Answered by Homeschooling's Most Respected Voices by Linda Dobson which I was able to find for $4.91 plus $3.99 shipping on Amazon.com.
The grand total of this donation came to $98.80, fitting perfectly within the budget of the donor. The remaining $1.20 of the donation amount will remain in the organization's fundraising account for future use for the purchase/shipping costs of new curriculum for families in need.
