Help me to start my food blogger career

Hi there,

my name is Imola and I live Hungary. I grew up as a fat kid, always suffering from some kind of illness and depression until my doctors found out I was born with celiac disease and dairy allergy, I am also vegetarian since I was 13, now living a gluten free vegan life. Sport was always important for me (I do kickboxing since I was a kid and I'm a certified yoga teacher) and so is healthy lifestyle.

My dream is to create a space where I can help poeple who are in similar conditions as I was, suffering from food allergies, illness or just simply being unhappy with their life. I started my blog for myself, so I could easily look up for my recipes. Now I have many readers and my lifestyle inspired others to make changes, start to eat healthier (many of them vegan) and do sports. I write recipes, about nutrition and yoga, sometimes about travelling, too. I would like to build up a business on this blog (later youtube and one day hopefully a cook book) and for that I need a professional camera (now I use my phone) with lenses and tripod.

I was advices to sing up to a fundraising site so here I am, collecting funds to a Samsung NX500 vlogging camera and a Nikon D750 camera to take food photos, along with a Manfrotto tripod and Nikon 50mm f1.4 lens as to start with.

I did the math and it will cost about 4000 euros but I can't afford that by myself. I am really grateful for any amount of a donation even if it's 1 euro.

Thank you!
