Fund my Streaming Equipment!

I found out recently that I really love streaming on Twitch - a website dedicated to live broadcasts of video games and the people playing them. It's a great way to connect, have fun, and even raise money for charity. I've helped raise over $200 for the charity Operation Supply Drop, over $600 for the charity Extra Life, over $1,200 for the charity Child's Play, and recently, I helped my good friend Katie get the vacation deserves by raising over $1,300 in less than 24 hours.
I love the fact that we can get together and do what we love to do for fun to raise money for those in need. It's amazing to me how much a community comes together and I couldn't be more grateful to be a part of it.
However, the streams that I've been on were hosted by a dear friend with more equipment than me. I'm a full-time film student with a part-time job with not many hours, so I'm struggling daily to afford just the necessities of life with not much left over to spend on myself. I stream pretty regularly from the ingrained applications in my video game consoles, but they can be unreliable and finicky and I'm unable to stream from previous gen consoles.
I really want to make a difference in the world. Since the streams, I've become very involved in the Extra Life charity, which benefits Children's Miracle Network. I'm a part of the Long Island/NYC Guild and I'm very passionate about raising money for those who need it. Streaming also has been a way to make myself happy. I've been struggling with Depression and Anxiety for a long time, and I've found that streaming can instantly make me forget about my troubles and just focus on stuff that makes me happy. It helps me to continue to fight for myself. It helps me gain the courage to talk about these problems and find a way to help others.
I've put the stuff that I've been longing for in my Amazon cart and the total is roughly $500. It's a lot, but the equipment will allow me to keep doing these charity streams to raise money for all the organizations I want to help. I'll be contributing to my own funds as well if I have the money to spare. Any donation would mean the world to me, and hopefully mean the world to those I will be raising money for in the future. <3
