A quick but important talk (Patreon)

First of all, I would like to thank you guys for all the support. The support I receive here help me to keep going with my work and with my personal life too.
So, I think I own you guys an explanation of what is going on:
My personal life is mess right now, thanks to 3 reasons.
1-I received a very bad news some days ago (I think I can use the word Atom Bomb to describe it) and, yesterday, things got even worst. Its something related with my family, but I would like to not get into too much details to preserve people. This made me sunk into a deep depression, something I am trying to recover from but its far from easy.
2-The reason above will make me work even more that I actually work and this will affect my health. I suffer from a Herniated Disc in my spine, which got worst since I have to work a lot more to keep things going on here.
3- My laptop is dead and, to fix it, will cost almost the same of buying a new one (its a issue on its main board/motherboard), which I do prefer to do since I already wasted too much money trying to fix this laptop (first it was the screen replace, then HD replace, then power connector tons of times...) but I have no money to buy a new one.
To keep working on my stuff (which included my job in my real life), I am using a 10+ years old almost dead PC, with a broken monitor, which is aggravating my health problem.
As expected, all of this reduced my motivation to continue working in everything. BUT I HAVE TO CONTINUE, since I have two children to raise.
So why I decided to post this? BECAUSE I NEED HELP.
To buy a new computer to work, which barely suits my needs, here in Brazil we pay something close to R$2.500 (think about USD$780)
But I don't know which would be the best to set a crowdfunding campaign, because many of the available options doesn't works in Brazil (and the ones which works, doesn't accept money from other countries).
Do you guys have any idea?
