Request: iPhone for elderly neighbor (Capitol Hill) Received This is a big ask. It is once again for my elderly neighbor who is low income and lives alone. Her iPhone 8+ is about to become obsolete and so she needs to get a newer model. She has the 8+ because it has a larger screen that helps her see the keyboard. Her mobile carrier does not have any promos for phone upgrades for existing customers. She is not familiar with Androids and thus is afraid to use one, so I just thought I would ask if anyone happens to have a large screen iPhone that is collecting dust and could use a new home. It can be many years old as long as it is still supported by Apple. THANKS! Noah

Request: DVD Player (Capitol Hill) Received I have a low-income, elderly neighbor who asked me if I have a DVD player she could have. I don't actually have one, so just wondering if anyone has a spare working one (probably would need to have a remote), that might need a new home. Thanks, Noah

Free: Yamaha S90 Keyboard (Capitol Hill) Gifted I got this from a musician who posted it on Trash Nothing a few years ago. It has been great for my niece and nephew, but they no longer need it. It's a Yamaha S90, from the early 2000s. The weighted keys feel the most like a real piano that I've ever felt. Has 88 keys. Has hundreds of sounds. Weighs about 50lbs. Has no stand. Has no built in speakers so you have to connect it to external speakers to play it at all. It always turns on, but about half the time it takes a few minutes to boot up. Sometimes you have to press the power button again and restart process. Very hard for me to tell the difference between real piano sound and the piano sounds of the S90. Let me know if you have questions. Noah

Request: Vintage style radio for elders (Capitol Hill) Expired I am looking for a vintage style small radio for kitchen counter or bedside table. Ideally with a large turner knob. It doesn't have to be truly old. Could be faux vintage. Also doesn't need to be fancy at all. Just looking for something functional that elders' hands can use easily. Thanks!

Request: Modem/router (Capitol Hill) Received Hi, I am looking for a modem/router that is compatible with Comcast/Xfinity to help an elderly low income friend save on her monthly internet bill. Does anyone have a spare that they'd be willing to send along?? Thanks! Noah
