More Computers Would Make Difference For Man

Mark, 49, is married and has one child. He
lives in a filthy but modest $379,000 house owned by his mother-in-law and wife. Other down on their luck family members live there on a transient basis.

His wife is the sole support. Mark works several menial jobs so that he can feel that he is contributing, but it's barely enough to put gas in either of his two vehicles. In fact, he's so needy he can only afford one brand new car, the other is almost 6 years old. He works sometimes as substitute baby sitter for the local school system but he can only work there until they find out about his record. He now shakes the farts out of shirttails at a local laundry.

He also has a severe personality disorder that makes it difficult for him to hold a job or interact with normal people. His weight makes it difficult to do much except his hobby of running what he calls an "internet news site". A number of arrests also hamper his ability to get along in the area.
"He's obese, balding and very difficult. He complains constantly. He only has 3 computers. Yeah, really, 3!" said the social worker familiar with his case.

He is also in dire need of new flat screen televisions. His 8 old TVs are all conventional tube models. The 50 inch TV in the living room is barely big enough for him to see his favorite food programs. The rent to own payments are very expensive.

They desperately need more computers for the family room and the child's room of their home. They frequently host guests who like "different" web sites.

Won't you please help a needy, hateful old bastard have a Merry Christmas?

Needs: Computers or any other objects of value (beds, HDTVs, used condoms, etc).
