Help fund my own physical video game shop

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Michael.

I may not be the most academic person—I live with undiagnosed ADHD and dyslexia—but that has never stopped me from chasing my dream.

Since 2023, I’ve been building Gamers Delight, a passion project where I buy, sell, and collect video games online. What started as a side hustle has grown into something much bigger—a dream to open a physical shop where gamers can come together, explore, and relive the magic of gaming.

This isn’t just about selling games. I want to create a space for the community—a place for collectors, players, and anyone who loves gaming to feel like they belong.

Along the way, I’ve faced a lot of negativity. People have told me it won’t work, doubted me, and knocked my confidence more times than I can count. But instead of giving up, I’ve used that as motivation. I’ve proven to myself that I can do this—because I’m passionate, determined, and willing to put in the work to make my dream a reality.

Right now, I’m doing everything myself—running the online store, managing social media, and creating YouTube videos to share my journey and the amazing finds I come across. All of this while working a demanding part-time job and supporting my four kids.

It’s not easy. It’s hard work every single day—but I truly believe that hard work pays off.

My goal is to turn Gamers Delight into a full-time business, to be my own boss, support my family better, and build something meaningful that lasts. I want to make my kids proud and show them that no matter what anyone says, you should never let anyone stop you from chasing your dreams.

I’m asking for your support—every donation helps me move closer to securing a shop space, building inventory, and creating something special for the gaming community.

Thank you for being part of this journey. Together, we can make Gamers Delight a reality.
