Hey everyone,

I didn’t expect to be writing this, but I’m in a situation where I could really use some support.

Yesterday, while I was at a coffee shop getting ready for an upcoming set, I accidentally spilled an entire cup of tea on my laptop… and it completely fried the motherboard.

Just like that, my work computer was gone.

For me, this isn’t just a laptop I use to prep music — I use Serato to actually DJ live, which means my computer is essential for me to perform at all. Without it, I can’t show up for gigs, and right now DJing is my only source of income.

I’ve been doing everything I can to rebuild my life and move forward in a positive direction. I’ve been staying committed to my sobriety, volunteering weekly at the rehab that helped me, and getting ready to go back to school to continue my path toward becoming a substance abuse counselor.

But I’m still catching up financially, and replacing a $1,699 MacBook Pro just isn’t something I can do on my own right now.

I went back and forth about even posting this because asking for help doesn’t come easy to me. But the truth is, I’m in a bind, and this is something I genuinely need in order to keep working and moving forward.

If you’re able to help in any way, even a small contribution means a lot. And if not, sharing this would truly help more than you know.

I’m committed to continuing to grow, give back, and build something meaningful with my life — this is just one of those moments where I could really use a little support getting there.

Thank you for taking the time to read this ♥️ Taj
