Why have a donation box, well most sites have one to help pay for the cost of running a free site and that is great you should help out if you use their site in anyway, form or fashion. I have one here but not for the same reason.
When a donation is made here it goes to buying school books and supplies for my 10 year old daughter.
She is home schooled and as you can imagine the cost of books is very high.
Why she is home schooled, I am glad you asked; she is home schooled for more than one reason:
First and foremost the school that is in our district is not one that my husband or I approve of.
Secondly, I am partially disabled and it makes it easier on me to have her here.
Once she moves to a new grade level we will evaluate the school she is to be in and take it from there.
When she does finally go back into the public school system then perhaps the donations from the site will go toward the cost of operation. Then again, I may just put it in the bank toward her college fund or use it for medical expenses as I am not receiving disability payments and cost of medical treatment and medications are too high as we all know.
