Does anyone know where I can get a free or cheap computer for home school?

I'm thinking about home schooling my child for at least a couple years and would like to locate a computer that she could do her studies on. Her former computer is cranky and doesn't work all that well. And, it is not modern enough to connect to the Internet. A friend told me that her neighbor got a free computer for her home-school child from a charitable organization. And, someone else suggested there might actually be a government agency that gives out free computers to home school students. However, I haven't been able to locate the agency yet. Does anyone know if this is true? Would love to sign up for that program when the time comes. It would be very useful! Does anyone have information on whether free or cheap computers are available for home school students and where I could locate them?
