Help Needed to Start Working Again!

With my vast experience in a wide range of fields, I've now been told I am "over qualified" for any sort of regular work because they can hire a younger person for less money. I also have many creative talents that got me many freelance gigs in the past (as a composer, photographer, designer, etc.) but when the bad economy got worse, those freelance gigs dried up and I've now been out of work with no income for over 5 years!

The one field that hasn't dried up, and is actually in demand, is something I use to do professionally when I lived in Hollywood... and that is working as a Location Sound Recordist. I just recently missed out on three paying jobs locally because I didn't have the equipment to do this, so I am humbly asking for $5000 in order for me to be able to get the equipment that I need, to put myself back to work doing something I actually loved doing and have experience in... 

The equipment includes a budget (but professional) sound recording device, Shotgun Microphones and Wireless Microphones, Boom Pole, carrying bag, media cards, cables and batteries, etc.

This will be such a life saver for me, and allow me to put food on my table again. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
