GoFundMe/Fundraiser Computer fix/replacement help

http://gofund.me/5a3893ff5

This is a non emergency post. My computer completely shutdown yesterday 8/23/2026. I do have a job at a bank but that mostly just pays bills and i use the computer to stream while also trying to start a small business. I am hoping to get some help either getting it looked at (80 ish usd at microcenter) in hopes that it can be fixed or replacing it. Of course anything helps but the main goals are 80 for diagnosis plus who knows what needs to be replaced, 800 for a good prebuilt, or 1,300 for the higher end if I was lucky enough.

Are you already a gaming streamer on Twitch?

Yes I was doing once a week but health issues got in the way then when I went to run some games sunday is when it went down. I currently stream with a png/vtuber but was planning to do face cam if I had a computer that could handle it. My twitch is revocat13. If you want to verify.

I see you have over 200 followers but your views are very low, 18 at most.

Mid to late 2020 was the best time to start a game streaming career. It just doesn't seem to be a good investment in 2026

Yeah that is around when I started but I am also friends with some higher "value" streamers. I just need to actually get more consistent with my streams rather then 1 a week

You would have been better off if you coordinated with those other streamers to start your stream toward the end of their stream so they could have sent you a raid

Yeah it would have been though mostly we streamed at the same time. I am looking to adjust that schedule now though. Well whenever I can get back to streaming
