A Cry for Help.

In September 2019, a voice vividly told me;
"Learn coding, it will make you so rich that people will say you did rituals '

But it's a pity. A hopeless pity, that 4years after, I have not done much aside designing some UI/UX images.

Why? Simply because I can't afford the necessary tools required to delve squarely into coding.

I have researched out how wonderful coding can be and how it can change my life greatly, bringing me out of extreme poverty. This only increased my passion.

But that's as far as I can go. I'm poor. Very poor and things are getting worse each passing day in this part of the world.

I really need a sincere heartfelt help right now from you great people of Dev Community.

It's not easy to swallow my pride and come out this clean and bare. PLEASE KINDLY HELP ME GET THE TOOLS I NEED.

I'm on my knees begging

I burn inside. I move around very unhappily. I feel depressed all the time as I can't seem to get anywhere near my goals.

As I sit here, staring at my apps UI/UX screens I did on my phone, I can't help but feel a sense of frustration and longing.

I have a dream, a consuming passion, a desire to create something that will be very helpful to my society by attacking poverty. But, I'm stuck. I'm stuck because I don't have the tools I need to go to work and bring my ideas to life.I can't afford to.

I'm a wannabe developer, or at least, I sincerely desire to be. I have vision for apps that will make differences, but I can't seem to get started. I've tried using free resources. I've tried saving up but they don't seem to take me anywhere. As I end up spending the savings on food.

I desperately need the right tools, the ones that will help me bring my vision to life.

That's where you come in, dear good friends at Dev Community. I'm reaching out to you, my fellow developers, my friends, my family. I need your support. I need your guidance. I need your help to get:
-a PC(maybe a laptop)
-a small 1KVA petrol generator.

PLEASE KINDLY HELP ME.

I know that I'm not alone in this struggle. I know that there are others out there who have been in my shoes, who have felt the same frustration and longing. But, I also know that there are those who have overcome, who have succeeded, who have made a difference.

So, I'm asking for your aid. I'm asking for your expertise, your knowledge, your resources. I'm asking for your support, your encouragement, your guidance. I'm asking for your help to buy the tools I need to bring my dreams to life, be very useful to humanity and be a bit happier.

Together, we can make a difference. Together, we can change the world. One line of code at a time.

Please kindly help me.
