Daniel A Samuelson hasn't added a story.
I'm permantly disabled thanks to fibromyalgia, among other things, and unable to work. Luckily my partner supports me, and we can still do things that are important to us like fostering cats.
It's because of our love for cats that my GPU has died.
A little over a year ago, we faced the worst tribulation a foster household can contend with - Ringworm. This meant destroying every spec of dust with bleach or a special, and expensive, spore destroying spray. My PC was, of course, a prime culpret for harboring the spores and had to be cleansed.
While I did everything I could to let it dry, let it rest, and wait for it to be opperational, the GPU has never been the same since. It would crash entirely out of nowhere, leaving the audio on but the video would be completely gone and no input would work. Over time, though, the crashes became predictable - full screen video. Now it's every time any complex video processing is done - games, movies, even fullscreen YouTube videos.
So now I need to replace it but we can't afford it. Between my medical problems and, well, the cost of living we're always pretty strapped for cash.
That's where this campaign comes in. I'm just trying to replace my video card and fighting an uphill battle with blockchain miners. The total is just enough to cover those costs for replacing it with an AMD card.
Please consider donating. I can't leave my house easily and my PC is my lifeline to the world as well as my means to not go stir-crazy.
