Help Kate buy a MacBook & get her life back

Hello there, my name is Kate Gooding and I desperately need your help in raising some money to pay for a new computer and get my fledgling webshop business back on track.

A few weeks ago my faithful, much loved best friend finally gave up and died after 12 years of constant service. She had become very full, uncooperative and super slow and even after begging my Mac specialist for help remotely nothing could be done and she slipped silently away.

As I have no other source of income here in Denmark, receive no benefits and have no family at all to ask for help, I am desperate, extremely anxious, very stressed and incredibly depressed which has resulted in a 13kg weight loss over a very short time. On top of all that my phone is not working very well due to a cracked screen which I cannot afford to replace and my passport has expired too which again needs money to get a new one. Money I simply don't have.

I came to Denmark after falling for a lovely Dane who to my utmost horror took an overdose 4 months later and even though he survived after emergency hospital care and 6 weeks in a psychiatric ward has severe mental problems and cannot work. Faced with unbelievable sadness and stress over lock down which lasted a year here I decided to launch a webshop selling second hand glass objects that I find in flea markets and charity shops to try and earn an income for both of us. Something to pay the rent and feed ourselves with.

My Macbook Pro was the key to it all with it's photography and video editing programs and I had only really just started to sell a few items. In the meantime I have am volunteering for the Salvation Army in return for a hot meal for us both a few days a week and really enjoy my time there even though I don't understand Danish. At least it gets me out of the flat and away from the incredible sadness of it all.

I am at a complete loss and at the mercy of you all. A good friend overseas told me about GoFundMe so here I am. I really need some help.
