Hello, my name is Dale D. Sarsale, and I am a middle school Academic Enrichment and Science teacher in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I work with students who need additional academic support, especially in reading, math, and science, and many of them come from low-income and multilingual households. Every day, I do my best to ensure my students receive high-quality instruction, encouragement, and equitable learning opportunities—both in and out of the classroom.

I am raising funds for a MacBook Pro, a reliable device that I urgently need for my work as an educator. My role requires me to manage multiple instructional platforms, analyze student data, prepare intervention materials, attend online professional development trainings, and communicate consistently with students, families, and colleagues. Unfortunately, I currently do not have the financial means to purchase a dependable laptop on my own. Like many teachers, I have a lot on my plate—supporting my students, continuing my professional growth, and helping my family—often all at the same time.

Having a MacBook Pro would allow me to work efficiently, stay organized, and continue showing up fully for my students. This device will directly support my teaching, my ongoing professional development, and ultimately the success of the students I serve. Any support—whether through a donation or sharing this fundraiser—means more than I can express. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for believing in teachers and the work we do every day.
