<div>Hi everyone,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Sergiu, and I’ve always loved building computers. There’s something special about creating a machine from parts — especially when that machine can help someone learn, grow and unlock their potential. I myself was one of this kids at some point, sqeezing every bit of a pc to be able to explore more and become a software engineer.
</div>
<div>This Christmas, I want to take that passion and build and donate 3 desktop PCs to school kids who are passionate about technology but can’t afford a computer of their own.
</div>
<div>These are kids who dream of coding, designing, building or gaming — but who don’t have access to the basic tools they need. My goal is to give them a real head start in tech and I’m hoping to deliver these computers in time for Christmas — as a gift that could open doors for years to come.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Why Second-Hand Parts?
</div>
<div>To make this project sustainable and affordable, I’ll be sourcing good-quality second-hand components. Many used parts still have plenty of life in them! With careful testing and assembling, I can build reliable and upgradeable PCs that will serve these kids well.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>What Your Donations Will Cover:
</div>
<div>Used PC components (CPU, GPU, motherboard, RAM, SSD, case, PSU)
</div>
<div>Peripherals like monitors, keyboards, and mice (second-hand or budget new). Pheripericals are prone to break so I am thinking that new will work better
</div>
<div>Cleaning, testing and assembling the PCs
</div>
<div>Pre-installing open-source and educational software
</div>
<div>Delivery or setup support before Christmas
</div>
<div>These won’t be flashy high-end rigs — but they’ll be solid, dependable machines built with care, ready to support learning, creativity and growth.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Why Christmas?
</div>
<div>Because for a kid who loves tech, receiving their first computer on Christmas morning is more than just exciting — it’s life-changing. It’s a sign that someone believes in them and that their interests and dreams matter.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Full Transparency
</div>
<div>I believe in complete honesty and openness. So for everyone supporting this cause:
</div>
<div>I’ll share regular updates with photos of the build process, parts sourced and final PC setups.
</div>
<div>When possible (and without breaking any confidentiality or privacy rules), I’ll also share information or stories about the recipients, so you can see the real impact your contribution has made.
</div>
<div>Your support won’t just disappear — you’ll see it come to life, piece by piece.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>How You Can Help:
</div>
<div>Donate whatever you can — every contribution helps.
</div>
<div>Share this campaign with your friends, family, or anyone who loves tech.
</div>
<div>Have old but working PC parts lying around? I’d love to repurpose them — feel free to reach out!
</div>
<div>Let’s come together and build more than just computers — let’s build futures.
</div>
<div>Thank you for helping make this small Christmas miracle happen.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With gratitude,
</div>
<div>Sergiu
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
