Help me give my students a replacement for their malfunctioning big-screen television so that vision-impaired students can better see science content and lesson components.

My Project
One of my vision-impaired students uses technology to take a picture of what is at the front of the room and then increases the size of the image so that she can see what is in front of her. This is made difficult when the content is moving quickly such as a video or images that are quickly transitioned to other images. She is constantly experiencing her learning through the use of a small screen in front of her.
A long time ago, a big screen TV was given to the science classroom.
During the last two years, a dark shadow has appeared over a third of the screen. This is a hardware issue and can not be fixed. Both regular ed and special ed students now have difficulty seeing content on the screen.
The science room is used by the entire school and the television is used to support lessons continuously. For example, worksheets are displayed on the television so that every student can understand the work to be done.
The television is not a luxury item for us; it is a tool that helps all students access the science curriculum. Students with vision impairments want to see what everyone else is able to see. Please donate this television to help them to do so.
More than half of students from low‑income households
