To help me achive my dream

Donation protected
I am a struggling mother of three and and grandmother of two. I have been in the journalism and photography world for 6 years now but 4 year's working on my own. I have had a very adventurous ride in this photography world. I have met many very interesting people and have been published in many print and digital magazines. My equipment is outdated and another photographer has stolen my lights and other photography equipment. This has limited me to less work and not as many paid photography jobs, were I had to take on another job at night to provide for my family. This is not my potential and is not part of my dream. If I could be able to get new equipment and up to date camera equipment, backdrops,  programs,  marketing, advertising,  a gallery to showcase my art, and tons of other important factors to complete my photography goals. Im not going to give up now, I  have worked to hard to get where I am now. This is why I am asking you to help me meet and achieve my dreams and wishes. I would be able to focus more on the photography and journalism. I would not have to work this second job as a waitress in a bar at nights. I would be able to spend more time with my family.  
You can check out my work and see clearly that I have what it takes to be a successful photographer and journalist. I have a very unique and weird eye for creating the greatest photographs and to be able to tell, write and share stories to help other people's stories that need to be told. I would be able to share with photographs to keep the persons greatest forever memories alive. Pictures last forever and has been the longest kept items in people's lives. I want to help people create their memories and stories, and put smiles  on people faces. I want to help impact lives. I want to be able to change, create and teach others the future and history of real life situations. 
I am not going to sugar coat anything to you, being a female photographer is not easy. Many people do not succeed in the photography world. This is why the majority of the time, it is usually a hobby and not many people can create it to a long time professional career. The photography and journalism struggle is real. I guess this is where the term Starving Artist comes in handy. Majority of the time, people give up or dont take their  dreams any further and it stays a dream or a expensive hobby, this is also why some artist's work never gets seen or viewed and people don't know who they are or what kind of talent they have until they have gave up or passed away.  
I am not the one to give up or stop making my dreams turn into a reality. I have no fear of this profession and the people in it. I know that everyday is a new day to learn something new, to be able to create something special and memorable for one another and others. I know that photography is a hard and challenging talent. Even though we all like to take pictures and capture the moments, there is so much more work behind it all than just pointing and clicking a button. Yes you can put ypur settings on auto, but you are still limiting yourself to creating the perfect masterpiece. Then what do you do? Upload it to your computer? Yes, these days the technology has advanced so much very few photographers use the darkroom methods, sadly to say. The hours I spend editing, marketing, advertising, promoting, selling, sharing and writing stories if needed is overwhelming the majority of my time. I am not a digital artist, so I do not pop you into another picture, I actually will create a scene or secionaro if one is not already there. Being a photographer is way different than a digital artist. Art is art in the world, but each artist is different and that is what makes all artist special and unique.
I am amazed at how much I have already achieved done!


I understand that usually these fundme accounts help people with hard times, deaths, births and so forth. Im just asking for help to achieve my dreams and goals and to help others.
I have included my social media site, where you can see some of my work or you can go to my website and see more of my creativity. I am usually not the person to ask for help, usually I am the person that helps others, but I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask and try to see if others would want to help me achive and create my dreams and others.
