I don’t normally do these sort of things because it’s usually not very dire, but…
My laptop is on its last leg. I’ve had it since 2013, and it’s endured a lot (even getting clattered around with all our stuff during the wildfire evacuation back in 2016). But it’s showing its age, and I’m afraid one day it’s going to stop entirely. I already had to replace the battery about a month ago, and there’s some unknown problem that causes the monitor to just shut off completely, forcing a reboot. One day it might just stay off for good.
Nowadays it might not be a big deal with how useful phones are, but I need my laptop for my photography. And photography is literally All I Have.
So I’m reaching out to the internet people in hopes I could scrape together some money for a replacement. I have some of my own, but not nearly enough. I’m looking at refurbished ones because they’re cheaper, so I think in total I’ll need about another $700 more.
I’ve made a PayPal pool here to collect and publicly keep track of how much I’ve received, but for people who are more comfortable giving money if they get something back (which is okay, I get it), I also have an Etsy and Redbubble shop for my photography. Etsy is better overall because I get a higher percentage of the profit, but I find Redbubble is better for prints and other large items.
Please, I really really need this. If you can’t contribute I understand, but reblogging this would be greatly appreciated.
