Today’s global pandemic exposes the devastating disparities within our society; particularly, the education of underprivileged children. Many children, through no fault of their own, fall between the cracks of our education system. Poor children are less likely to have a computer or internet service, thereby rendering them unable to transition to online learning. Research demonstrates that students with home computers and internet consistently score higher in reading, math and science. Students without internet at home are more likely to be students of color, from low-income families or in households with lower parental education levels. This learning gap in many ways mirrors broader educational barriers for poor and minority students. It will have devastating and, sometimes, life-long consequences. We MUST stand in the gap for these voiceless and vulnerable children. You can be their hero! Computers 4 Kids provides iPads for low-income students in West Jackson, Mississippi; one of America’s poorest school districts. These iPads allows students to continue to receive tutoring support, mentoring, character building clubs and summer day-camp activities at the John & Vera Mae Perkins Foundation (jvmpf.org). Will you help be a Computers 4 Kids hero? Our goal is $30,000 One iPad costs $650. A generous donor has agreed to match every single dollar you give. This will double your impact on children in dire need. Please help us make dreams come true?
