Support for My Work, My Cat, and a Fresh Start

Hey friends,

Life has been throwing more challenges my way than I can keep up with. My laptop—essential for my work on PPP projects, movie nights, my budding newsletter, and planning a literary conference (with more in the works)—has broken down and either needs major repairs or replacement. This has hit hard since it’s the backbone of everything I do to support myself and contribute to our community and the Tolkien fandom I love.

On top of that, my beloved cat, Ossë, is struggling with a health scare, my washing machine is broken, and hot water tank needs repairs. It feels like everything is happening at once, and I’m feeling overwhelmed and discouraged.

I don’t take asking for help lightly, but I could really use some support to get through this. Any contribution would mean the world to me and help me keep doing what I do and take care of my home, both my physical one and my virtual one.

Thank you so much for considering.
