No Youth - Music Equipment

We are two up and coming young musicians who are looking to start gigging. Music to us is a positive outlet and release of built up emotions. We write about life experiences and struggles, hoping that our music reaches people who can relate to similar difficulties.  We are music students studying at The Manchester College, one living independently who struggles to get by everyday with no money, to the point where they go without essentials. The other lives at home with his dad who also struggles financially; although basic needs are met within the household. We are looking to buy equipment to go busking and gigging with, this includes a battery powered amp, two microphone stands and two microphones. We have just started branding our band and are looking to take the next steps of making what we do a living. We would like to start performing with our own equipment at the beginning of next year, so funding would ideally be needed as soon as possible.  For people to help and support us through this process would mean everything to us, we cannot put into words how grateful we would be. We want to help others through our music, so they do not feel alone or isolated and understand others are facing similar struggles. The money could also help us promote our band and buy band merchandise. We would be grateful with how big or little money is donated as it all helps us to achieve our goal. Thank you !
