Help Me Start My Education Journey
Donation protected
Hey folks!
I was laid off in March of 2025, and decided it was time to make a big change in my career. Since then, I've been pursuing a career in education. This August, I'll be going back to school to get my art education degree AND I will be started a job as an after school coordinator at the Ellis School. Which is amazing! I'm proud to have gotten this far. But I have a few roadblocks ahead of me.
- Since I have been working at home for the better part of five years, I don't have any work appropriate clothes.
- I'm going to need to purchase art supplies for school.
- My macbook is 6 years old, barely holds a charge, and is entering what feels like gradual laptop organ failure.
I've been making my life work off of my art sales and unemployment benefits, so I'm running on some pretty narrow margins. I simply cannot afford new pants and a laptop at the moment. So I'm asking you for help! This money would be going to clothes, school supplies, and a beautiful refurbished lenovo thinkpad. Thanks for your consideration and support :)
