Emergency - New Camera Needed Fund

Donation protected

The camera I've had for a decade, the very one I built my business on, is breaking and may lose functionality at any moment. I run Depth of Light Photography and have to have a camera to work.

I used to have savings, however, after 8 1/2 years of being in an abusive relationship that included financial abuse, I barely scrape by every month and am strangled by debt from that relationship. I would love to work to earn this money, but I can never get ahead of my bills and debts and there's literally no way I can save enough without a good camera to get a new one.

I'm using this opportunity to *attempt* to get the camera I really want, a Nikon D750.

The refurbished version costs anywhere from $1200-1450. Technically I would need new lenses to reap the benefits of this camera, but I'm not going to push my luck! The rest of the donated money will go to gofundme's fees and shipping costs. I can work on earning the money for lenses via my art.

If it looks like I can't make my original goal, I have a great back-up plan. I can get a Nikon D3400 { https://ebay.to/2FHZt24 } which is about $350 all told. It's a tiny step up from my current camera, not enough to make a real difference, but it'll serve me well.

If I get the D3400, I'll be very relieved, as it means I can continue working and that's all I really want. If I can get the Nikon d750 it'll literally be life-changing. I may finally be able to charge enough to get out of my perpetually negative financial situation and actually start to grow as a business.

Whatever you can donate, I am so incredibly grateful. I'm also happy to sell photographs, photoshoots, and drawings and paintings, if you want your "donation" to get you something nice! 

Thank you so so much and please don't forget to share <3
