Desks for Kids is a way to help kids get a desk for digital learning . The idea came to me during this awful Covid-19 time. I was building a desk for my own son for his school space at home. I then realized how inexpensive I could build a desk. 

 I then reached out via Facebook groups and the Nextdoor app to see if anyone was interested or in need of Desk for kids. Within 24 hours I had people who wanted to donate to the cause,  requests started coming in to help and for need of a desk for their child. Our communities kids need there own space to learn at home for their Digital learning and not all can afford to buy a desk. So Desk for kids is born!

​

 Currently me and my sons will be building these desks and getting them out to the children in the community. The way it works is I have designed a affordable desk from materials that can be bought at any hardware store like Lowes or Home Depot. I provide my design, carpentry skills, and my labor time to build the desks. People from the community are provided Donations to purchase the materials. As Donations come in we will build the desks . All donations go directly back into building more desks. Once we have the funds to purchase materials we then build a desk.  We will then contact one of the individuals who have let us know they need one. 

​

​If you can afford a desk and donate a desk this would be wonderful Desks are made at the cost of materials. If you can not afford a desk email me and we will ad you to the list. When someone donates the funds or materials I will contact you once the desk is complete.

​

I have created a set of plans which are provided below to download so other can help build the desks for our community and others. I currently have a hand drawn set but they need to be created on a digital platform that are easier to read. if anyone knows a cad program or Sketch up that can easily help me out with this that would be helpful. 

​

We love helping our community these kids deserve to learn in their own positive learning space. Please understand this project is based completely on Donations. If we do not have the donations we can not build the desks, so please help if you can.

 Also understand I do have a full time job and that comes first.  I do have to make sure my family is also taken care of. I have to be sure that I am not over exerting myself as my job is to transport our communities children to and from school safely. I also realize our School District has already started, so the need for these desks is now. My spare time and skill is going to be making these desks to help them.  Our goal is to get 100 desks out to kids if we can do more we will!

Remember we can make a difference together for our children's educational experience even during a pandemic!
