Donors Choose Health Care Challenge

Just a reminder to you all that my Donors Choose campaign is still going strong. Yesterday I issued a challenge to health care workers to toss a couple of bucks to needy classrooms. If we're lucky, some of these kids will be our colleagues some day. So far, in response to my challenge the kids have received exactly bubkes (that means "nothing").

Yo, health care folks, if you can afford it, even a couple of bucks helps. Many of these classrooms don't even have pencils and paper, so if you think a two dollar donation isn't much, think again.

I know I'm starting to get annoying here, but my state is hemorrhaging jobs, people, and hope, and folks around here would like to know that they haven't been forgotten.
