enby nerd with disabilities still needs help repairing their PC to get back to work

(it's me!)

So close, so will keep posting in the hopes this might happen this month, still. Thankful beyond words to everyone! 💜

My motherboard died, and I've not been able to accept contract work since, which have been my sole income stream for some time. My setup is ~7 years old, so I'm stuck replacing my CPU & RAM in addition to the mobo.
On my own I'm stuck: no 'puter -> no work -> no funds to fix 'puter

A dear friend set up a to raise the funds I need (https://www.gofundme.com/f/new-pc-for-shis-livelihood-and-health) which is on the home stretch.
If you have the means & want to help, every bit helps! I've listed other ways to contribute in the 👇 replies 👇

I'm looking at the lowest-priced locally-available mATX AM4 board, Ryzen 5 5500 & 2x16GB kit of DDR4, the cost + S&H of which the GFM goal should just cover.
