Replacement Editing Computer for FrostedCaribou

Hehwoah!

I’m FrostedCaribou, or people just call me “Bou”.  I’m a Pokemon YouTuber that creates content focused around the Pokemon Trading Card Game.  Content creation has been a love of mine for over 5 years now and I’ve really found a home in YouTube and the Pokemon Community.  I recently lost my job as a multimedia designer and production manager for a local small business.  YouTube and my amazing viewers have been the support that has carried me through these tough financial and emotional times.

I have been striving over the past couple months to really step up my game when it comes to the quality of content I produce and give back to my subscribers and Patrons the best I can.  Part of that was adding 4K video quality, better lighting, and getting the newest product content as early as possible.

Last weekend my computer that has been so faithful to me through the years overheated and burnt out while trying to edit and render my first 4K video.  I performed all the troubleshooting I could and reached out to some of my computer knowledgeable friends and the consensus is it’s a goner.  I am going to salvage what parts I can, mainly my data and drives, and work towards obtaining a replacement computer.  There is no way I could afford a PC capable of handling the type of video editing and rendering right now at as I continue to search for employment and ensure that I can cover my priorities such as rent and food.  I truly have no idea when I will be able to start creating content again.

I never ask anyone for help and especially don’t feel comfortable taking handouts.  Many friends and viewers have reached out and pleaded with me to set up some sort of donation means to try and help get me back up and running with making content; so here I am.  I don’t want anyone to feel obligated to give anything but at this point any little bit helps and I am tremendously grateful for any help I get.

I worked with Taco (my boyfriend) to figure out what the most cost effective but performance capable system I could get put together to be able to handle the multimedia and editing power my content requires.  I feel like it costs so much but the fundraising goal is the system assembled and shipped and will provide a 2 year warranty.  It was actually cheaper than building something and buying the parts separately.

I want to do what I can to pay back any contributors so I will reward any donators with the following:

-          $10+ will receive a signed/unsigned holographic FostedCaribou Full Art Trainer Card

-          $50+ will have their Name or YouTube nickname custom printed and added to the side of the Com”bou”ter to be remembered by all for your generous contribution.

-          If we meet total goal I will do a celebration live stream with as many giveaways as I can contribute.

Taco has committed to providing all rewards and paying for all shipping costs.  Again I appreciate any bit of help you can contribute and promise to do my best to provide the very best content and support that I can for my community.  Thank you for sticking by me through these tough times. I appreciate all my Goobies.
