Oh, my MacBook Pro. The tool I use for everything from making music and worship services to editing video and graphic design. I attempted to extend the life of my old laptop by changing out the battery myself. In the process, my computer was badly damaged, and I am only fortunate enough to be able to save and back up my files. Otherwise, it is no longer usable.

In order to keep up with all my digital creation such as graphic design for websites and music creation, I can't afford a lot of downtime. I would get a different type of laptop if I didn't use so many Apple-specific brands of software. Unfortunately, I don't have an emergency fund set aside for this kind of expense, so I'm asking my friends, my family, and even total strangers for help.

I know there are a lot of worthy causes out there. I consider this worthy because of the way the things I create are designed to bring people together and help heal some of the loneliness that is endemic at this current time. Please help, and I will be forever grateful. Thank you.
