Hi,  In the city where I live we have a place called American Disabilities Associations, They should be able to tell you where you can get it repaired.   When I had my arm repaired I took it to a place called SCOPE,  between my Medicare and insurance it did not cost me anything.

Cool! I'm glad someone wants to help out their community.\n\n-stream/river/lake clean up (organize a team of people to pick up trash and debris)\n\n-found a food bank\n\n-place recycling bins in town-based buildings (city government, libraries, post office, etc.) and organize a pick-up service for collecting the items\n\n-hold a race at your local track to raise money for a local, charitable cause

freecycle.com\n\nGo there and find the yahoo freecycle group in your local area. People post things there they are giving away for free. all you do is respond and say you want the item.

check with the veterans organizations / some of the \nchurches in your area may run a thrift store for \ncharitable purposes and offer pick-up

Try Biomat\n\nThey have 3 or 4 locations throughout Houston. You get $25 the first time (i think) & then $35 every subsequent donation.

You could go to your doctor's office or local health department. They usually have these available to give away.

Try going on Yahoo Groups and search for a local "freecycle" group.  They allow people to give away stuff they don't need / want anymore to people who can use it... freeing up space in landfills.\n\nI've seen everything from cameras to cars given away there... oh, they do other letters of the alphabet (other than "C") as well. \n\nhope this helps :-)

If the stuff is of any value you might try\nhttp://www.freecycle.org\nThe Salvation Army and Goodwill will take usable items as well.

You don't say where you live or teach, but I would suggest calling a locally-owned store that sells those things and see if they would be willing to donate some or all of the items. You can try asking church groups and civic groups (Rotary, Knights of Columbus, etc.), who might be willing to help. See if the local paper would do a story on the project and what is needed (call the editor). There are a lot of generous people out there. They just need to know what you need and that you need it.\n\nGood luck!
