<div>Hi, my name is <a href="https://youtu.be/4xSHew3NVUU?si=NwXHhpaC0aA3lTJF" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Luis Nájera</strong></a>, I am a veteran, exiled<strong> </strong><a href="https://horacero.com.mx/tamaulipas/las-dobles-vidas-de-margarito" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>journalist</strong></a> and acclaimed <a href="https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/576886/the-wolfpack-by-peter-edwards-and-luis-najera/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>author</strong></a> in Canada fundraising for the urgent renewal of my laptop. A few days ago, my old Macbook Pro from 2015 crashed while working on my upcoming book.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I need my laptop to finish my overdue memoir project where I'm sharing my journey from investigative journalist reporting transnational organized crime along the US-Mexico border to becoming a refugee in <a href="https://macleans.ca/society/mexican-refugee-journalist-janitor/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Canada</strong></a>. The book will be published by one of the top printers in the industry. Furthermore, the computer allows me continuing with the production of my Spanish-speaking <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dos-amigos-ideas-que-florecen-del-desierto/id1795253335" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>podcast</strong></a> "Dos Amigos", an informative yet still unprofitable 30-minutes long program I host, edit and publish using the tools available in my old Mac.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I want to be fully transparent: I need a Mac computer. Over the years, my work has become deeply integrated with macOS-based software, archives, and updates that are not compatible with Windows systems. Transitioning platforms would mean losing access to critical material and setting my work back even further. I have included a screenshot showing the estimated cost of a replacement laptop.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I wish my circumstances allowed me to absorb this expense on my own—but they do not. This fundraiser is my way of asking for help so I can continue the work I have dedicated my life to: documenting truth, preserving memory, and giving voice to stories that are often silenced.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li><strong>As a gesture of gratitude, all donors—if they wish—will be acknowledged by name in my upcoming memoir, currently titled “Dark Corners: A Life Reporting—and Surviving—Evil” (final title subject to editorial review).<em> </em></strong>
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you, gracias, for your time and your generosity. <strong> </strong>
