Disabled artist seeks donations of computer,photo,sound equipment

Rochester NY

Description

I'm a female photographer and filmmaker who was derailed in getting my mfa by a degenerative and debilitating spinal disease. I had to have massive reconstructive spinal surgery during uni, which left me with yards of metal screwed into my spine. It's left me with chronic pain, the kind of pain that people just don't talk about because nobody wants to hear. After the humiliating decision of having to drop out of MfA, and then seeing quite easily that no jobs would hire me, let alone keep me on for long, though absolutely don't blame them. It's tough to keep an employee who can't come in to work again because they can't get out of bed. I'm not looking for pity or a handout, I was just hoping that they might be some well-meaning artists out there who have old or outdated equipment that they'd be willing to donate as a tax write off or just because they've upgraded and don't need it anymore. A keyboard and mouse would be extremely helpful, as well as an old TV that I can use as a monitor. The size is not important so long as it has an HDMI plugin. Any camera or video equipment would be extremely helpful also, as well as audio or microphone setups. I really can't go on like this without a way to create my art, so I'm hoping that there are some people out there who have items collecting dust that might be valuable to a person like me, someone who can use them to make videos and photographic images so that I can create like I used to. It would do wonders for my life, and my self esteem. Please contact me at the number below ) if you might have something that could help. Thank you so much! You have no idea what this means to me!
