Since this post i have been contacted by certain members of this forum who have offered financial aid to this cause. I am feeling the glow of humanity as this wonderful outpouring has started. With the help of your friends here at the forum, I WILL get you a keyboard at the LEAST possible price. Count on it.
Anyone that would like to lend a hand - please comtact me via email - we will keep this confidential, and private!
