Hello~

My name is Corey and I have been a member on here since it began and was also very active when 8bc was around.  My life has always been a struggle and I've always lived on a very low income do to Mental health issues.  The chipmusic community and hobby has always been the music creation outlet I could afford and kept me smiling.  I turn 31 today and I was approved for disability after 10 years of trying and getting turned down twice.  I tried to kill myself 4 years ago because I felt like a burden on my family because of my mental health issues preventing me from having a decent job.  I've grown since then and I now have a 3 year old step daughter and a one year old boy that is my fiancée and mine in my life and I'm in a much better place.  As a thank you I wanted to donate $500 to a project in development and this is where you guys come in.  I just returned to the chipmusic community recently so I need to know what all is going on development wise and who would benefit from the donation.

That's very generous and thoughtful of you!  I recommend Nitro2k01's cart flasher project as that could potentially bring lots of old tech back into easy usage.  heart

^^^ That sounds like a good idea.

Whoa! I'm glad you're doing better man. smile Are you absolutely sure that you're comfortable enough to part with $500?

That said, what kinds of projects are you looking for? New labels, albums, etc?

Any project the community brings up is acceptable!  I have 5 years of back pay coming my way so yes I am comfortable giving back to a community that gave a lot back to me in the way of friends, songs, ideas, and smiles.  The $500 could be split between projects as well.  Mainly we should determine which projects will get a "kick start" if you will do to lack of funds.

I also look at the donation as a Mental Health Awareness donation and I'm willing to share my story so people don't give up hope if they are struggling with mental health issues.  I have Borderline Personality disorder(better labeled as Emotional Regulation disorder in other parts of the world), major anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder, and ADD.  It was a long haul proving I can't work full time do to these issues but I accomplished it and I hope this gives others promise that their lives can turn astound for the better.

That's really generous of you, Corey! Good to hear things are looking up for you man.

I couldn't say who to donate to, though... There are several new flash carts in the works right now, and Nitro is always cooking up fun new projects

@kitsch directly here for now.  That way it's in the open for all of us to decide who needs the most help/which projects people want funded.  smile

Yup that's me!  It's funny because I never took the time to introduce myself properly.  I remember a lot of you guys from 8bc when I went by litebritedeath.  I should look into getting my username on here switched to litebritedeath.
