Camera needed

I am a young female who has love for capturing moments that become memories and have the ability to live on and on. I discovered the love for photography when I was really young but never took it seriously till recently.I knew I had the capability to take good pictures but coming from where I come from with my family background it would be totally unacceptable to run after what you truly love especially when it's said that one can't generate and income with such. I personally would like your help to change the mindset of not only my family but also the mindset of any child not coming from wealth and saying anything is possible if you put your mind to it and that there are genuinely good people out there that would love to help you. As you go through my gallery please note that all picture shot with a second hand iPhone 6 which is currently not in the best shape hence a camera is needed. Once I do have the funds I plan on buying a good quality camera and start raising money by doing photoshoots for all events possible. In this way I could and would be able to try sustain a life for myself. I know it won't be easy but I would rather start now than regret later . Your help would be greatly appreciated.
