Help me learn skills to become freelance nature photographer

Hi, my name is Trefor and I have Autism and Bi-polar. I have struggled for a long time trying to hold down a regular job with variable success.

My mental health team have found a photography course that I could do which would enable me to pursue my love of Macro photography and make money as a freelance nature photographer.

However, I need to raise £500 to enable me to buy the basic camera and lenses second hand to do the course.

Please help if you can.
