Sarah’s drive is at $82,500 as of this writing. From here to $100K, she’s the beneficiary of a match, which means that every dollar you donate to projects marked with the “Double Your Impact” sticker, another dollar goes to her. Make sure that, if you want to have your donation matched, you donate to projects that have the “Double Your Impact” banner — you can see which ones have it when you look at the list.

Here’s a match-eligible project: astronomy modeling materials for Mrs. B’s middle-schoolers. The universe is important. Or how about a keyboard and CDs to teach about states and capitals? Ms. A wants to take her Texas students out into the world to learn through photographs what the real meaning of geography actually is. We are SO CLOSE to getting Miss Sarah into that tomato costume, but time really is running out. There’s not much more than a week left; if you have five bucks to give, they’ll make it ten. If you have ten, they’ll make it twenty. There is no better time to reach into your pocket for Donors Choose if you haven’t already, and even if you have.

Thanks for all your help, thanks for reading, thanks for caring about the kids, and thanks for being so generally awesome.

Oh, and: if you wrote me about furniture, I am so sorry! My internet just came back after several days of stress-inducing in-and-out-ness that forced me to spend most of my uptime trying to get my work done before it blinked off again (or forced me to run to Starbucks long enough to do it), so I’m gathering up things I need to do, which includes “get back to nice people who wrote about furniture.”
