{{cquote|Living in San Francisco and working in the Silicon Valley, it seems I take for granted evolving technology (and many other conveniences). Although I was well into my career before the Internet and email was introduced to the workplace, I feel as connected to technology as those who were born into the digital age. Reading about why other donors around the world support Wikipedia just now has once again reminded me how narrow my worldview can be day to day. It was inspiring to see the global educational lifeline Wikipedia has provided for those whose access to information has been limited. Thank you for making this happen. }} |

{{cquote|Later in life, after raising 13 children, I began a non profit corp for Catholic Youth Ministry providing curricula and related products and helps. At age 58, I had to start from scratch to learn the computer. Wikipedia helped me learn the terminology for computers in order to follow technical instructions. Then Wikipedia helped me research and verify information to be passed on to youth in curricula I wrote. Later I was invited to collaborate with other writers in producing a series of Catholic school religion textbooks. Wikipedia was one of the key sources for research and definitions, making possible For me, living in a small town, far from libraries to research and write educational materials for the next generation. Thank you for Wikipedia, for your diligent efforts to verify all information and for inspiring so many experts out there to share their specialized knowledge to the world.}} |
