In Evan’s own words:

“I never imagined I’d be in a position where I needed to ask for help, but right now I do.

At this point in my life, I feel stuck. I’m currently without a job, and I don’t have the kind of formal skills that easily open doors in today’s job market. But I’m not giving up on building a better future.

Recently I discovered something that truly sparked hope for me: learning technology; specifically AI and machine learning. It’s an area I’m genuinely excited about and believe could completely change the direction of my life if I’m able to pursue it.

The problem is that I’m missing the most basic tool I need to start: a laptop.

I’ve tried to move forward with what I have, but it’s simply not enough to properly learn, practice, and build the kinds of projects that could help me develop real skills and eventually find work. Without the right tools, it feels like I’m watching opportunities pass by while I remain stuck in the same place.

I’m not asking for anything extravagant. My goal is simply to get a reliable laptop that will allow me to study, practice, and start building a path toward stable employment. To me, this isn’t just about a device. It’s about the chance to learn, grow, and create a better future for myself.

If you’re able to contribute, even a small amount, it would mean more to me than I can express. And if donating isn’t possible, sharing this fundraiser would help just as much.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and for any support you can give. It truly means a lot.”
