context
i have been urgently needing to raise funds for tech ever since my ipad was maliciously damaged while i was fighting for my survival on the streets; it completely stopped working last year, and i lost essential functionality for communication and basic needs as a disabled person, for my artwork, my ability to do my work and earn income, and i lost all of my work and essential paperwork
i have had to prioritize housing and groceries and other essential needs, so my tech needs have been going unknown and unresolved
i can't continue on anymore with this tiny little ipod touch ( the only device i have ) because:
it's old and is now now refusing to charge most days
it overheats very rapidly and turns off for long periods
it has been discontinued so none of the apps are working anymore because companies are all designing them for a later version of ios
i cannot continue to try to do all of my work and rely on the limited functionality of a tiny (broken) ipod touch where most of the apps aren't even working anymore
the ipod touch doesn't have the functions i need a) for accessibility and b) functionality for my work/so i can earn income
i rely 100% on tech as a disabled person to do everything essential in my life; a lack of the tech i need is a serious safety issue, would isolate me from absolutely all communication with anyone ~ my life is necessarily entirely online, being able to get my needs met, and a significant hindrance to my ability to function each day
i need specific tech to be able to offer my services and earn income
i need access to this tech before i begin a 9-month intensive neurographica® course on may 9 [i also need to raise funds to cover the course fee, which is $6,000/€5,500]
[please no suggestions about secondhand or other options ~ i cannot use other brands/models or secondhand or refurbished products for health reasons and i need to purchase these products myself directly from the manufacturer: thank you]
