Help fund my Donors Choose Project ! Only $98 to go!

UPDATE #2: MY PROJECT IS FULLY FUNDED! MANY THANKS TO MY DONORS AND ALMOST HOME/AMERICAN EXPRESS. I CAN'T WAIT TO USE THE LIFE SIZED MODEL IN CLASS:)

UPDATE #1: ONLY $78 TO GO (THANKS TO MY FIRST OFFICIAL DONOR)!

Please help fund my project, Unsolved Mysteries of the Human Body Systems, on DonorsChoose.org. I am requesting funding for a life sized model of the human torso. This is a hands on tool that will make learning about the human body much more interesting and exciting.

My project is eligible for funding by Almost Home and American Express. This means that $370.91 will be funded by partners of Donors Choose. The remaining $98 must be contributed by citizen philanthropists (that's you, your family, your neighbors, etc). Students - please tell your parents. Parents - please tell your friends and family. Every dollar counts!

If my project does not reach funding ($98) by the time the Almost Home grant runs out or expires, the cost of the project will revert back to its original price ($468.91). This offer is only available for a limited time, so act now if you are interested in making a donation.

Remember, only $98 to go!

Fingers crossed. Wish me luck:)

Thank you on behalf of my students and myself.

  3. I hope we could reach the goal because it would be really cool to have a model where you could take out its organ and they would life size.

  17. I love his name, Seymoar Organs! :)
    He's pretty awesome, but I wish we could use him... when will we be able to take out the organs or atleast see you, Leslie, do it? It'll be really cool and a lot easier to see than that little one.
