As much as I enjoy a sale (of an EasyFlash 3) and don't want to dissuade 
folks from buying one if they wish, holding a single ROM is probably not 
it's sweet spot.  A VersaCart (or any of the various simple C64 cart 
PCBs on Github, eBay, or Etsy) might be a better choice.  Since the file 
is available, a quick EPROM program and a bit of soldering seems more in 
keeping with the original request.

Since it's for a good cause, and if resources aren't otherwise readily 
available, I'd be willing to make up a batch of these for parts cost. I 
hesitate only because I find free time a bit more elusive these days, 
but I'm happy to help in some way to make this a reality.

Looking at the options now to provide some links warms my heart. Almost 
10 years ago, someone asked me to design a simple 64 cart that handles 8 
and 16K images, and I threw out simple64cart:

Others, including Sven Petersen, iterated on the design and created 
VersaCart, adding flexibility and molding it to fit various case options:
