I’m in between blogs now, but I’d love to give all of these computers away. One to the church daycare that has no money. I’d love to give 2 laptops to college bound foster kids who have nothing but the clothes on their backs sometimes. The touchsmart I would sent to a great organization in guatemala called Mayan Families. As cool as this stuff is, and as much as I’d want to keep it, I don’t need any of it. But I’d love to give it someone who does. I’m excited to see who wins!

I would gladly donate some of the “prizes” to a local ministry called “Women Living Free”. The ministry is a beautiful home that shelters, feeds, and ministers to women that have been abused, or have abused alcohol, drugs, etc. WLF really changes the lives of many women in a veyr positive way. Of course, this has a great impact on families.

I would surprise them by sending a hand-written letter that says “Desparately need your help” across it diagonally. In side I would thank them for providing such a wonderful ministry and helping so many women. I would go on to say that I really need their help because I won all of this computer equipment, etc. (I would possibly include a picture and web URL) and I want to come by and give this item and that item to them. I think I would be giving the M1000 and one of the other laptops, if not the TouchSmart PC. I would end with Merry Christmas!

Here is my submission. I am in no ways a professional (which will be painfully obvious) but I did want to capture the “magic” of the South Dekalb YMCA Child Care Academy – they would be the recipients of most of the prize package if I won. I will be keeping the mini and laptop – everything else will be donated to the Child Care Academy.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfTPThZ0ffk

I have a good friend of mine is a fireman with a lot of great connections (knows A LOT of folks) in our community. I would coordinate with him and the fire dept to deliver the items in the fire truck to deserving families and organizations. We would pull up to the home, school or organization in the truck with a little whoop whoop of the sirens (so we don’t scare anyone) and deliver the items.

We know other families in our community would could use the items and there is Providence Ministries for homeless men, a boys home, and thrift stores. We would focus on these folks to benefit from this awesome gift.

We have 4 children and homeschool them through a virtual online academy. They all share a 5 year old computer in need of upgrading. So we would keep the TouchSmart and/or a laptop for them to aid in their education. But all other items would be given away.

I would be thrilled to donate some of the giveaway items to a wonderful local ministry that I have donated to before.

Providence Ministries not only operates a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program, it also operates:

- Two homeless shelters
- Two boys’ homes
- Three thrift stores (proceeds from stores fund all of the outreaches provided)

I want the donation to be a huge surprise. So, my thought is to contact the local police department and explain that I want them to hand-cuff me and take me to the ministry along with the items. I would have a police officer escort me in saying that someone from management is needed because a crime has been committed. When management walks in, the officer sternly says “Tell them. Come on. Speak.”

I then tell them the wonderful news that I won a few laptops and other equipment and want to donate some of the items to their ministry and be a blessing. Merry Christmas!

I’d love to do this on my blog, but everyone I would want to share with reads it, plus there’s the inevitable “What about us?” that comes from having a very large family and a relatively small prize.

First off, I would share a laptop (the premium one) with my “sister.” Neither of us has a birth sister (she has one brother, I have 5), so we adopted each other. We talk about all the stuff on our minds and all the deep secrets and fears of our hearts. I want to give her a laptop because she’s in nursing school and spends so much time on homework. I’m hoping that a laptop will allow her to work faster, more efficiently, and anywhere she needs so that she has more time with her family and friends.

I would give the other laptop (entertainment) to my sister-in-law and her family. The just moved 1000+ miles away from all of their extended family so that her husband can go to grad school. I want her to be able to let her family and friends keep up with her and how the baby is growing.

I would like to share the PC and the printer with my older brother and his family. He will be starting grad school, soon, his oldest daughter is fantastically smart and part way through 1st grade, and his wife is doing freelance graphic design in her “spare” time. The PC would help them all with homework and supporting their family.

The MediaSmart I would share with my oldest brother. They have the largest family of all of us (6 kids), and their home is often a gathering place for family, friends and neighbors.

Of everything on the list, I don’t need anything, but I would like to keep the mini. It will be useful for our car trip to Illinois/Wisconsin/Minnesota to visit our family and friends next year with our three small children.
