Mostly Bad News

Update posted by Isak Grozny

So, due to my parents continuing to be unaccepting of my transition and unwilling to believe that I am too disabled to work (or ill in the first place) and some admittedly snotty attitude from me, I am no longer receiving any kind of monthly income (not, uh, that my parents were sending me more than a token amount of money in the first place). That means I can't get a computer even with a financing plan, because, well, I can't pay off a computer if I'm getting no guaranteed income at all.

I am not on disability and it's doubtful the German government will grant me disability, though I'm currently suing them to argue that they should (it's been well over a year since my first hearing and before that, I waited months to be granted a hearing, so my hopes are not high).

My current laptop is still holding together, but that's not going to last (we have to take it apart regularly to make it work again) and I only got EUR 635 from this campaign, after GGF and PayPal fees. That's not enough for a computer that can be used for art, reasonably, and it's not enough for a computer that I'd be happy with. It's a shit situation.

I'm going to be blunt: I need money to get a decent laptop so I can have some prospects in life that are not "work a menial job the disability services deem 'appropriate' for my level of disability" and I can't pursue art without a computer capable of running art programs without choking. Please, if you can, help out.
