My niece has a friend. They are both 9. Her friend comes from a very low income family,and has a history of health problems. She's fallen in love with Minecraft during visits to my niece,but her family all shares one extremely outdated laptop.
I have no income right now, myself, or I'd just do something on my own. I really want to find a way to get her a computer and a copy of MC for her. Wouldnt even have to be anything very nice, just something usable.
I've heard of people getting money online for things like this before,but no idea how!
I understand that this is a long shot, pipe dream,whatever. But I have to try something,right?
Please, any advice you can offer would be appreciated!
Also,big thanks to the community just for the attitude of actually trying to be helpful. I made another post of this on a couple other sides (hoping that more coverage would help more) and not a single person said anything helpful. Several of them suggested that poor people dont have the right to play video games, and one person expressed doubt that such a person existed at all and that I was after free money =[
I really love the community around Minecraft, even more so after seeing other communities.
Ah, I was about to say mow yards. That's the easiest money I've ever made, but if you can't.... just try to sell some stuff or something. Save up and then see if you can get a fairly competent laptop. Best of luck man.
I am having a problem.

Have you tried to run Minecraft on the laptop? Remember to get optifine.
I am on medical leave right now from my job, I am unable to work or go to school at the moment.
Yeah,working on it :]
In the meantime, I will try freecycle.
