Empower Joseph's YouTube Journey with Vital Equipment

Donation protected
My name is Joseph. I am disabled and unable to work due to health issues. I am trying to better myself and have recently begun a Youtube following. The channel has grown to over 29k so far and growing by a few hundred every day.

As part of my commitment to this dream, I have begun writing lyrics for songs. For this, I need something that works around my hearing impairment caused by bilateral microtia. It took some time but I finally found it.

The OpenMeet UC by Shokz bypasses many of the problems other headsets present. It uses bone conduction, it has no need for ears to keep them in place, and it is kept on the user's head snuggly for the best conduction possible (I swear this is not an ad).

My only problem is SSDI does not provide enough to spare for items like this, no matter how useful they could be, so I am now turning to the community for help. I know I am not entitled to anyone's help and those who know me, know I hate to even ask. I just feel like this junction of my life requires me to step outside my comfort zone and ask.

Thank you for taking the time to read all of this and have a wonderful day!
