Greetings and Salutations Everyone!

My name is Michael but on YouTube I am known as Popo from MisterPopoTV. Thank you for visiting my Go Fund Me page 1st and foremost! I know a lot of you are wondering about this page and why it is created especially since, let's face it, really random coming from me.

For those that do not follow me on social media, the past 2 months since I've come back from South Korea I have been looking for a new living arrangement to live in for the next year or so. Recently on March 12, 2014 there was a gas leak explosion on 116th in Park Aveune in New York City, which decimated the apartments and a church in that area. The craziness is that, the exact apartment that was affected was the apartment my roommate and I finally decided to move into by the end of this month. Our friend offered to rent out rooms in the apartment and if you live in New York City, you would know that renting an apartment is near impossible for the majority of people unless you know someone. Since the apartment no longer exist, my roommate and I have been vigorously looking for apartments outside of budget and we need to make a combine $60,000 in order to rent a majority of apartments in NYC. We are lucky enough to have a few more choices towards moving but for me it comes at the expensive of equipment towards creating YouTube videos.

As many may know, I create a lot of engaging videos on my channel and travel from time to time to film. For the vast majority of my videos I have used my front facing camera on my macbook to record videos in 720p. Recently I attempted to record a video and public with my macbook and I found out the hard way about recording especially with the audio difficulties.

I do have a lot of ideas as well as wanted to expand the reach of my channel especially with more series that engage not just my viewers but the public as well. The right camera and equipment is needed to accomplish it. I spent last year having a vast amount of videos ensuring the quantity of videos however I believe it is the quality that will make you all happy. Whether it's a reaction, review, rant, parody, piano cover or now interacting with strangers, I want it to be in the best and highest quality it can be.

It feels highly awkward doing this but any amount of help would be appreciated whether its $0.01 or $1000, all would be highly appreciated. I do have incentives for those that do donate and while I can't reward everyone, if you do donate, if you can leave a name or a nickname I want to thank you on video as well. It is a journey after coming this far and I want to keep showing you all highly entertaining videos in the highest quality, both video and editing possible.

What the money is being used on is a new DSLR Canon camera, lighting equipment, green screen and mircophone set up. All would be for both public and in-home usage for vlogging style as well as scripted sketch comedy work.

One of my goals is to travel all the states for one of my series and record the reactions of strangers watching random kpop music videos so we can see everyone's unbiased opinons. Creating videos is one of my passions and I highly enjoy doing them and making them for myself and everyone. I hope to continue working hard and keep advancing forward to the new obstacles that await me. I want to show you guys the ups and downs, the highs and lows because life really is a roller coaster.
