LR Lewis is crowdfunding
Iʼm raising £3,400 to Buy a gaming PC setup so a disabled man can start earning, giving him back some dignity and autonomy.
Don't have time to donate right now?
Story
Peter and his brother David are Syrian refugees who were trafficked away from the war and dumped in Greece. David has worked immensely hard to train and get a full-time job but there isn't support available for Peter, who is disabled. However he is a fantastic gamer, one of the top players at Destiny 2 (check out his YouTube channel - VKillZone) and could monetise his skill if he had the right equipment to compensate for the very slow internet connection available.
Being able to earn will not only mean Peter has more dignity, autonomy, and sense of economic independence, but will also mean the brothers are more likely to be able to pay their bills, keep housed, get urgent medical care, and eat more often (currently they go many days without food or basic hygiene items as David's salary is insufficient to cover the outgoings for both of them).
Peter having a PC would be a game-changer for these guys. The organisations that work with them in Greece have been able to support them but only so far, and they are far from secure or comfortable, and no further help us available. David's friends do what's possible, but greater input is needed and a collective effort to help them. So please do donate or share if you can. Huge thanks.
Prices are more expensive in Greece and this guess is based off low-end items in the UK and Peter's guidance around what is needed. Examples below:
Desktop PC MSI MAG Codex 5 11TC-460EU - £1540
Razer Kiyo webcam - £150
Razer Ripsaw HD capture card - £120
Razer Blackshark V2 headset - £140
HP X34 WQHD IPS HDR Gaming Monitor - £300

2 months agoSo thankful and excited to nearly be 10% of the way there. This fund keeps getting sidelined whilst we continue to fundraise for David and Peter's daily survival needs but EVERYTHING is very gratefully received. The sooner Peter can get gaming and monetising, the better for both brothers. It will have an enormous impact not only on their physical wellbeing but mental and emotional, too.

10 months agoSo thankful for the regular donations that get sent to Peter and David to keep them alive whilst this fund ticks slowly along. No donations yet this year so...any time now would be awesome, but my primary concern is that the guys stay alive.

1 year agoDavid has been having a really hard time at work lately, and the bills seem ever harder to find cash for, so again my efforts have been split between trying to garner support for the daily needs of the brothers, and uplift this fundraiser. I am so encouraged it is still plodding along slowly and getting support. Thank you to all who have shared, donated, and uplifted it.
