Retiring


Dear Readers:

Recently we had a storm in the area, and my computer hasn't been the same ever since. I wasn't home at the time, but I think it was the sudden power outage that did it. Not only the computer itself, but the monitor also. I'm gonna have to retire it today, because its just too slow. This means I need a replacement to continue my daily posts here.

The reason I'm sharing this, is because I need your help for the replacement, which will cost about $1200 for a replacement that fits my needs. I normally wouldn't ask for help for something like this, but in the past few months I've had some sudden major expenses that I need to prioritize over a new computer and I need to get back on my feet. By the time I raise funds for a new computer, it could take well over a month or two, maybe more.

Normally I ask for financial contributions twice a year, before Christmas and after Easter, but this year it will be a third specifically focused on getting a new computer. When enough funds are raised for a computer, I will immediately buy it. Next time you see a new post here means I have raised the necessary funds.

Since this request comes out of season, I have a few items to encourage the raising of funds. First is my personal icon collection which I have offered for sale in the past. Though most of those items have been sold, there are some things left which can be purchased. Please see the post before this one to view a list of the items and how to order.

The second item is a something that was offered to me by a friend some months ago to help with my next fundraising effort. I was going to offer this before Christmas, but since I'm desperate for funds now I have been granted permission to offer it. From my understanding, it is basically a dagger to commemorate the Greek Revolution with an inscription date of 1820. The dagger comes in a beautifully carved sheath. Photos are below for those interested in this item. My anonymous friend originally wanted me to offer it to the highest bidder, but I don't know how to track something like that, so instead he said he is willing to part with it to the highest donor of at least a $300 contribution, though he would prefer to see a higher donation for it.

All donations can be submitted below, either through Paypal or Mail. I'm ready to go out and get the computer at any moment. Thank you in advance.

With love in Christ,

John Sanidopoulos
