PHONE NEEDED
Boost mobile phone needed
The Homeschool Hub is currently in need of an upgraded cell phone for Boost Mobile. This is our groups phone and we get calls from parents with questions about homeschooling. Very needful. However, our current phone is very outdated. We are told that we may not get calls because of the system on the old phone.
If you happen to have an old Boost Mobile phone with CDMI (updated coverage), we would appreciate the donation. It will go to a good cause. We would be willing to trade this old dinosaur!
Thank you
