Keep Jes On Booktube
Donation protected
So this is a bit hard for me to do, but I was asked by a few people to start this GoFundMe. Please don't feel obligated to donate, I didn't even want to ask.
Essentially, if you don't follow me on youtube, I'm going to give you a bit of a backstory:
I was at my lowest with my mental health two years ago. My OCD and anxiety had gotten to the point where I was afraid to leave my house, even to go to work or see my friends. I was looking up youtube videos on how to calm myself down and stumbled upon the most wonderful community that is booktube. Then and there I decided it was the most welcoming amazing community I had ever seen and thought it would be a great way to connect with other readers like myself. And it has proven to be just that.
At this time I was in and out of the hospital seeking any kind of relief from what was wrong with me. No one could tell me. One bill in particular that I have been paying on for the last three months was sent to the state and I was sued for the amount left. 1500$. Even though I was paying.
I have done everything I can. My parents payed for one of the bills I was sued for previously. I have no idea what to do or how to come up with this kind of money. I have decided to sell both my computer and laptop to make up the difference. Which means no booktube for me until I'll be able to save up for another camera.
I know this may seem ridiculous to some. but I am not joking when I say that this community means the world to me and saved my life. If you'd like to donate it would mean the world to me. It would keep me on this platform, making videos for people I love.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
