Can 1 Dollar Buy A Computer?

1 Dollar
Can 1 dollar buy a computer? If 752 people join together it can.
For the next 30 days we will be raising money, $1 at a time, to buy a computer for a new community center located in the Black Hills neighborhood (a low-income, under-resourced community located in Grand Rapids, MI).
The new community center (currently being built by U.I.C.M.) will exist to provide the neighborhood with numerous resources including a youth center, and a computer lab. The new computer your dollar buys will be the first of several computers that will be used for tutoring, after school homework, adult continuing education, and job training.
To purchase the computer and monitor we need to raise $752.

    This website is designed very well. I can also appreciate the F.A.Q. The photos are great and I love checking the site to see how much has been given! (that’s my favorite feature).

  4. Alana - Thanks for the great feedback. And, a HUGE thanks for your support. As I write this we are almost halfway to our goal… and, we couldn’t have made it this far without you, and many others like you! Thanks for taking action.
