Actually, I do have a job now. And I dont need anywhere near 1000 in donations to fix my PC.
I asked for help because fixing my PC isn't the top thing on my list of ways to spend my money. The top slots belong to school books, supplies, medical stuff, and cell phone bill.
I do pretty much everything without help from others, but part of living is knowing that asking for help wont kill you, and sometimes you can't do everything on your own.
