To my PIVOT RADIO family and everyone that finds this... "Oh Hi!" I’m Christy, AKA Swiftigoth, your genre fluid gothy-but-poppy DJ and variety streamer. If you’ve spent time in my corner of Twitch, you already know how much joy, help, and connection this space has given me. Streaming has become my lifeline: creatively, socially, and emotionally. It’s where I get to share music I enjoy, attempt to mix things, build weird little worlds with you, and show up as my full self.

Pivoting My Life: Help Me Move & Keep Pivot Radio Alive

My concept of "Pivot Radio" has always been about switching genres, moods, and energy — and now I need to make a real‑life pivot of my own.

Right now, I’m facing a major life transition. I need to move out of state due to a combination of mental stress, financial strain, and the need for a fresh start. This move has no longer become optional...

Some of you know it's been a long time coming. Being a caregiver can take its toll on you, even in the short term, but almost 6 years of it has just sapped the life from me. I should've done this years ago, but I stayed out of duty and nostalgia and love at risk to my mental health, stability, and future.

Why I’m Asking for Help

Moving is expensive and daunting for anyone, and I’m doing it without a safety net and debts. I’m working hard to cover the basics, but in order to cover these basics and still stay up on payments to the car and other bills, I'd have to sell or pawn the very equipment that makes streaming possible — my DJ controller, audio gear, my keyboard, my Huion art tablet, and even my computer. Selling these items would mean losing the ability to stream after the move, at least for many months until I could afford to buy anew. I REALLY would rather keep them, to DJ, to stream, to do graphic art, and mostly stay connected with the community that has become a huge part of my life.

I've secured a place to start fresh, but it's 1,800 miles (2,900 km) away. This would help cover cost of gas and travel and (cheap) hotel stays on the journey.

If we hit goal (the minimum really to make this move happen) anything above would be a HUGE help, so I don't have to sell anything and also not have to door dash in-between and struggle the final miles of the journey.

Your support would help me:

Avoid selling my DJ equipment, art tablet, and PC

Move safely and securely to a new state

Get re-established quickly so I can return to streaming

Keep our goth/raid/fork knife/art chaos streams going, and music community alive

What This Community Means to Me

Twitch has been the one place where I’ve been able to breathe, create, and connect. You’ve shown up for me in ways I never thought possible when I first got affiliated 3 years ago. The music, laughter, support, and shared chaos is just everything to me. I want to keep building this space with you. I want to keep DJing for you. I want to keep showing up.

This GoFundMe is my way of asking for help so I can move forward without losing the tools that let me stay connected to all of you.

If You Can Help

Any amount truly makes a difference. Sharing the link helps too. I’m deeply grateful for every bit of support — financial, emotional, or otherwise.

Thank you for being part of my world, for dancing with me, for supporting my streams, and for helping me take this next step toward stability and a new beginning.

With love, gratitude, and a whole lot of PIVOT RADIO energy,

Swiftigoth
