A camera, creativity, and a career
Hello, I am Tara Tucker, a mother of 2 with multiple sclerosis and gastroparesis.
Being a videographer was always my goal in life. I worked hard and put myself through college. My dream came true. I was not only a videographer but worked on numerous shoots in roles as grip, audio, editor, and producer.
Then, I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and developed optic neuritis in my shooting eye. This ended my career.
I was lost for many years, trying to find out who I was. Then one day I picked up a camera. A camera, unlike a video or studio camera, does not require my eyes to focus in a tenth of a second. I discovered I could take my time and focus. I could now express myself visually.
I found myself again when I picked up that camera.
I am now trying to make ends meet with my photography and as a freelancer for several companies doing company audits.
My current computer keep crashing and will only run a few minutes before overheating and shutting down. This has prevented me from accepting many assignments as I am unable to enter them in a timely manner. It also makes editing my photographs to be a long, frustrating process as the computer keeps crashing.
I am looking for a computer and camera system that will enable me to add income to my family and help pay my medical bills from my MS and gastroparesis.
Both the photography business and my company audit business allow me to work on my own time schedule, which helps me work around my relapses and bad days.
I am striving to find a way to support my family while fighting MS. I am not looking for help to pay my medical bills but rather a source of income that will not only pay my medical bills but be a constant source of income for my family.
Any donation, not matter how small or large, will help me tremendously and will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
