Help Robert keep #HGWeekly going!

First of all, thank you for checking out my gofundme campaign!

My hope here is to recover a portion of my expenses for the purchase of a new laptop, and so have something to live on for a little while.

As a hurdy-gurdy enthusiast, it has become a wonderful hobby for me to be publishing The Hurdy Gurdy Weekly . While it was never my intention to make any money from this endeavour, I put a fair amount of energy into it, and basically had to buy a new computer in order to continue this (along with some other purposes, of course). 

SOME DETAIL ON MY SITUATION
I have been living on disability since 2009, unable to return to my previous work or other gainful employment. This is one reason that I had the time to spend on the Weekly in the first place – A few minutes here, an hour there, and look what has happened! - I really have a great time doing it, and it has actually become an integral part of my therapy.

The computer that I had been using for the past 6 years was dated and had become frustrating to work with. It wasn't worth upgrading. I could see that time was running out, and it would soon become impossible to buy one as my money was dwindling. So, earlier this year, I went ahead and purchased a new laptop and backup drive while I still had some cash – I felt that it was essential to make the investment if were ever to continue! 

Now, having lived the rest of the year without any income, all the money from my small disability settlement is essentially gone; and, I ask for some help from the hurdy-gurdy community for a portion of what I spent on the laptop just so that I can make it through the next couple of months.
