I would recommend the high school where I taught until I had an accident outside of the gym. It is a Title 1, At-Risk high school. Maybe if there had been enough money, the sidewalk where I fell could have already been fixed and saved me four surgeries on my shoulder.
Thank you,

I don't know of a specific school, but based on new reports there are many school systems where the teachers pay for supplies themselves - I'm sure they could all use the money even to have the basics.
