Please Help Me Buy A New Computer

Donation protected
My name is Malinda Washburn, or as some know me, Fauna Joy. I've been working in the Source Filmmaker community for a year now as a modeler, but would really like to start making videos.

I have so many ideas, my head feels like it's going to burst with them some days. The problem is, my current laptop is old, and very nearly falling apart. It can't keep up with SFM in its full capacity. What animations I've made are rather simple, and most don't have sound of any kind.

I need close to $2,000 for a gaming grade laptop that will be able to handle SFM, even with sound put in, so that I can make videos of all kinds for people to enjoy. I was recently able to save nearly half that amount from a temporary job, but still need help to achieve the rest.

I don't have a specific time for how soon I need these funds, but as soon as possible would be absolutely appreciated. I've been able to keep my current laptop together for a couple years now, but it has slowly, but surely dying on me with every day an uncertainty as to whether or not it will survive.

Pony Videos have given me a way to express myself in a way I've never really had before. I've been making models on DeviantArt, and people have been loving what I can do. If I can make the videos I envision a reality, I can share the joy I feel when I think of them with others, and they can share their ideas for videos with me. Together, we can make each others' days brighter.

But beyond these videos, my computer is my lifeline to the world. I take it nearly everywhere with me, and use it to keep in touch with many friends who I can't otherwise see, as well as remaining current on world events.

I can't express enough how much donations would mean to me. I can't offer much in the way of rewards, perhaps cameos in my future videos, or personalized pony models for people who donate. But I just want everyone who does donate to know that every penny means the world to me.
