Help Vicky Afford A New Work Computer
Donation protected
I'm Vicky, a freelance digital illustrator.
Unfortunately the graphics card in my desktop PC is no longer working which means I am unable to do my work. I'm also a US citizen living in Australia and I currently don't have rights to work here so my art is my one and only source of income. I live with my boyfriend and our pet bird and I really need to keep a source of income coming in to help out with bills, food, and other expenses.
I do have a laptop that I'm able to draw on but it's not nearly as powerful as my PC was and is only able to do a fraction of the things I need in order to do my job. I won't be able to finish any commissions or illustrations until I have access to a usable desktop again...
The PC I have is a 5 year old compact PC that's no longer in production. This makes it pretty difficult (as well as extremely expensive) to find the right kind of parts that will fit and work with my PC.
Also, given the age of my PC it's extremely likely that other parts of it are going to start breaking in the near future. It's been having a lot of issues for the past four months or so and I have a good feeling that other parts on their last leg as well. It seems like a better long term investment to just get a new, non compact PC, which will be easier to repair in the future and which will last me for a while before it even needs parts replaced.
After looking around I found one that I can buy here in Aus for $1420aud (Roughly $1035usd at the current exchange rate.)
I'm asking for just over the total cost for the computer to help cover all of the gofundme fees.
If I'm able to reach my goal I'll have a new PC soon after and I'll be able to start working and once again earning an income!
