Hello, and thank you for taking a moment to read my story.

My dream isn’t grand or world-changing. I’m not trying to create something new or revolutionise anything that already exists. What I want is simple, but deeply meaningful to me.

I want to bring my books to life. I’ve spent years pouring my heart into writing, and all I need now is a working laptop so I can continue creating and eventually learn to animate the stories that mean so much to me.

A laptop may seem small compared with many of the urgent and life-changing fundraisers on this site, and in a way, it is. But what I could do with it would be so much more. It would allow me to keep supporting my family, and that means everything to me.

Does it seem lazy, to ask rather than work for it? Maybe it does. But my dad is dead, and as the eldest son with a stay-at-home mum, most of the responsibility has fallen to me. Nearly all the money I earn from writing goes towards supporting my family’s basic needs. I’m proud to do it, but it leaves me unable to save for the tools I need to move forward in my career.

That’s why I’m here.

If you’re able to help, even a little, it would mean the world to me. Your support would directly fund my dream. And if you’re unable, for any reason, thank you again for reading all the same. Truly.
