If you are in need of free books or curriculum, you can write The Book Samaritan at 1715 Grandview; Pawhuska, OK 74056 and tell them what you need. You can also donate your books and curriculum to them.
Requesting specific materials is okay but the ministry may not be able to do this. All of their work comes from donations of homeschool materials. They will try their best to get the curriculum to your family but may not have it to send out.
