Help me give my students copies of To Kill a Mockingbird. Most of our copies are falling apart; they have been duct taped to stay together.

My Students
My students are made up of a diverse group of learners. We are a Title I school, but at our particular campus, we just have freshmen in the school. In addition to academics, we work on teaching students life skills they need to transition from middle school to high school.
I teach in a low-income school system where over 50% of the students are on free/reduced lunch.
These students do not have as much access to hygiene products or school supplies as we would like for them to have. Learning should be an uninterrupted process; a lack of hygiene products or school supplies often causes a disruption in the classroom.
My Project
Our school needs 30 copies of To Kill a Mockingbird for our English I courses. This book is on our required reading list for 9th grade. Most of the copies are falling apart to the point that they cannot even be used; many of them are even missing pages. Students should be granted the opportunity to read a novel without it falling apart.
To Kill a Mockingbird is one of the most influential American novels of all time.
The district cannot afford to purchase any more hard copies of this novel; textbook renewals have even been cut. We need these copies so that we can expose the students to the brilliance of this novel.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
