Hey everyone, I'm Matthew—robotics dreamer and dad. My mom died on October 26th. One minute she was there, frying chicken, telling me Black folks don't quit, next thing I know she's gone and the kitchen's too quiet. Grief's heavy—like a servo locked in place—but her last words echo: "fix what you can, grieve what you can't". So, my ten-year-old keeps asking if robots can... I dunno, bring joy back into houses. I said maybe. Now I'm saying please. This money buys me a printer that won't choke on braids-worth of detail, a laptop that doesn't crash when I hit render, motors so smooth my son thinks they're magic. This is for her. For him. For every Black kid who thinks dreams are for somebody else. Donate—if Mom taught me anything, it's that tomorrow starts with somebody stupid-believing in you. Thanks.
