      Hey! So as I mentioned in the RL disgruntlement thread, my laptop is super dead, and unfortunately we are on a super tight budget that makes getting a new one not workable right now. My son and I need a machine with a little versatility for remote schoolwork, and I am planning on using it to learn some programming languages and database management.

      I started a GoFundMe here, anything any of y'all could give towards it would be so, so appreciated.

              I have been conditioned my whole life never to ask for help like this and honestly suffered because of it like a big dope. I am so grateful, seriously...it's like already half way to what I asked for, my mind is fucking blown and I feel SO MANY FEELS. Thanks y'all. ๐Ÿ˜ญ

                      Even if I don't hit what I asked for exactly, what has been given is so much more than what I had to work with and I have options now!! Thank you. ๐Ÿ™‚

                        @wizz Been there before more than a few times. My laptop is my everything, my social life, my work, my community, my resources, my connection to knowledge. Every time it's been a mad rush to try find the funds to replace. So really hope you can find get something sorted.

                            GOAL REACHED.

                            I just...I am stunned and humbled that came together so quickly, hardly even a day later.

                            I'm full of so much hope and positive feels and it is a HUGE weight off my shoulders, holy shit.

                            Thank you, everybody who gave or even thought about it. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

                            I hope I have the chance to pass this amazing kindness on soon. โค

                              I was gonna donate too Wednesday when I got paid, but I'm glad that you got it together! ๐Ÿ˜„ I told you. We might talk mad shit to each other, but if one of us needs something, this community watches out for each other.

                              It's one of the reasons I stay. Ya'll're family.

                              Even if I don't really like some of you. Same as family.

                                    @wizz Huzzah! It is very shiny and new!

                                    Good luck with the classes and like I said, LMK when you're ready to start looking. ^_^

                                      Look at how fucking toxic we are.

                                      That looks awesome. Canโ€™t wait to hear about the cool things you and your son will do with it.
