My purpose of this crowdfund
My name is Eric, and I'm set to begin my Computer Science degree on the 19th of September. However, I'm facing a significant challenge since I need a reliable, high-end laptop to support my coding projects and studies throughout my four years in university, but I’m currently unable to afford a decent one.
Why I am unable to afford this
Recently, my dad was involved in a serious car accident which resulted in his vehicle being written off, and with four of my sisters and my brother to support, this has unexpectedly placed even more financial strain on my family, making it difficult for my parents to assist with the costs of preparing for university, especially when it comes to purchasing a necessary laptop for my course, along with managing to pay for university essentials.
Why I Need Your Help
I’m aiming to raise £500 to purchase a second-hand, high-end laptop. This would allow me to invest in a durable computer that will support my studies for a longer period, rather than opting for a more expensive medium-end laptop that may not last as long or meet the demands of my course. With your support, I can focus on my passion for coding and drive innovation in the future I hope.
My Future Aspirations
I am incredibly passionate about coding and aspire to become a software engineer. This started when I was 10 years old playing ROBLOX (an online video game) and was interested in making my own games within the platform - this sparked my interest in creating my own games that others would play and has led me on from scripting on lua to coding on other languages, which I am most familiar is Java for now. I'm considering specializing in either the finance or motor industry as a software engineer and hope to work for a renowned company one day. Your support will help me take the first step toward this goal by ensuring I'm fully equipped for university.
