Help me raise money for a new computer and studio gear

Hi, I'm Kipp Davis, and I am an online educator of the Bible and the ancient Near East. I maintain an active presence on YouTube, where I make quality educational videos, host online discussions and interviews with experts, and deliver university-level seminars on topics related to the Bible, early Judaism and the Dead Sea Scrolls. All this, I make available to the interested public, at no charge.

My current equipment is very old, and very quickly nearing the point of obsolescence. My plan was to replace my aging computer, camera and microphone early in the New Year, but some unexpected personal crises have now made that impossible to manage on my own. My livelihood, and my ability to continue making quality, educational content for the thousands of people who watch my videos and lectures, depends on an immediate infusion of funds for a suddenly critical upgrade.

My top priority is to raise at least $2,500 for a new, super-charged MacMini M4, with a keyboard, trackpad and display. This is immediately essential, but if possible, I would like to raise an additional $2,700 for a new Panasonic Lumix GH7 camera (or equivalent) and lens. To make this dream complete, I could use another $2,000 for mics, booms and lighting.

I love my viewing community, and I value their ongoing faith in my work. I'm counting on the support of the many generous people who consume my content to help me out, and to make my ongoing projects even better and more accessible.
