A few words from fellow donors
Thank you for filling my childhood with wonder and my adulthood with answers.
I hope to preserve that for the next generation of kids.
I continue to recognize the enormous value that Wikipedia and Wikimedia have, for all of humanity. I will say it many times, as a teacher I received magnificent help from Wikipedia, in mathematics, geography, history, physics, computing, general culture, and much, much more. I am very happy to have been able to support such an important organization.
Without Wikipedia I wouldn’t be the person I am now. After 63 years on this planet, Wikipedia made me fall in love with learning for the first time. I am now 70 and still studying, still learning, and still loving it. Who can put a price on that?
Your encyclopedia has had an immeasurable impact on millions worldwide and, even now at the age of 30, I can still recall relying on it during my early teenage years in high-school and later on throughout medical school. In a day and age where reliable knowledge is key to saving lives and allowing us to see past our own differences, your encyclopedia is an invaluable resource.
