Help Lacee Get A New Computer!
Donation protected
Hello! My name is Lacee and I'm an artist living in Sequim, Washington. I work at a local casino as a porter--basically, a janitor.
My laptop, who I fondly refer to as Rattlebob due to the noises its fan makes, had a spill last night and its screen broke. I've had Rattlebob for about 5 years, and this issue was the cherry on top of the "Rattlebob Needs To Retire To A Senior Living Home" Sundae. The video card is so old I can no longer download an update its drivers, one of its fans is out, and the battery is dying as well.
Because I am an artist who prefers the digital medium, this affects my ability to produce artwork, which I use as a stress relief, and which I hope to one day use as a supplemental income. In the picture you can see that in order to use my laptop, I have to plug it into the TV, but this infringes on my mom's relaxation time, of course.
I had been wanting to upgrade my computer anyways, because of the aforementioned issues. There is no way I can save up the money in a timely manner on my own paying a phone bill for 3 phones, rent, the supplies necessary to care for our animals, food, and our internet/tv bill. I live with my disabled mother in a 2 bedroom apartment and we just have a lot to manage.
Any help would be deeply appreciated. 100% of the funds will go to purchasing a replacement desktop computer for myself. I decided on a desktop rather than a laptop because I am noticing posture issues due to hunching over Rattlebob.
Thank you. I am well aware there are better causes out there and if I raise nothing, I certainly understand. This is something that would help with my quality of life, but is not an absolute necessity, and I do understand that.
