You’ll be asked to sit (as still as possible) for up to an hour at time. The longer the better, and take breaks whenever you need. You can read a book, or listen to music, or fall asleep, just stay still. No crazy poses unless you want to. I’ll work around your schedule.
If you’re upgrading, can you donate a working iPad, tablet, or smartphone for a good cause?
I’ve an acquaintance in Algeria who is looking for a used working smartphone, iPad, tablet, or a touchscreen laptop like a Lenovo to use for his work and to read his extensive digital library that has currently stored on USB thumb drives. He has the equipment to transfer their content to an Apple or Android or other major system device. If you’d be willing to donate your old device to me, I can guarantee it will find a good home. Please get a professional to delete all your data on the donated device beforehand, of course.
Please call or email me if you have questions, or want to donate. Thanks! I posted this on August 30 and so far have not heard from anyone. Fingers crossed someone will respond, please! Surely someone out there is thinking about upgrading their device?
