Request: iPhone or capable smart phone (Queens) Hello again. Film school is in full swing and I had to borrow my brother's Samsung Smart phone for my film productions in the early going. Not sure what I am going to do as I'd hate to continue asking him to use his phone. A capable camera or smart phone would suffice if anyone can spare. I don't even care if the only thing on the phone that works is the camera, that"ll do. Thank you as always for your consideration.

Request: Tablet, Laptop, PC (Queens) Hello all. Online student here. My primary laptop was supposed to be so revolutionary but it can’t even hold a charge. Needs to be plugged in at all times to work otherwise battery only lasts about an hour and that’s not enough time to do my assignments and such. Last week, the charger decided to stop working and thus the laptop is rendered useless until I secure a replacement. Working on that as it requires an older very specific model and funds are low. Was graciously gifted a Chromebook by a fellow user here which was to serve this very purpose but unfortunately it’s the HP Pavilion model that is no longer supported and its Chrome can’t cooperate with the Cookies requirement of my school’s site so that’s not an option. Spent time troubleshooting with school’s tech support team and arrived at my phone being the best option. If you’re familiar with my other posts you know I don’t have a capable one of those either but I tried. Managed to get word for mobile on there and it’s as inconvenient as you might imagine. Nevertheless, it’s all I have so I did my best but that backfired too as I couldn’t save and convert to pdf like Professor insisted. Have an exam coming up on the 11th and taking it on my phone will be nothing short of a nightmare. It’s an open book style where we can refer back to course material which I managed to do on my laptop from previous tests when I had it working but don’t imagine that’s going to be an option this time around. Won’t be able to get the laptop charger I need in time and the way things are going I am truly getting my butt kicked right now no matter what I try so I’m just going to do my best with what I have but if anyone can help out with a device of some sort that evidently isn’t outdated I’d be forever grateful. Cheers.

Request: Laptop cooling fan/pad (Queens) Received Hi I am a student and have assignments due daily which requires me to use my laptop for hours and hours at a time and the humid conditions in my room only exacerbates the problem. Would anyone happen to have a laptop cooling pad they can spare? It would be really really helpful. I can travel within the 5 boroughs. Thank you so much for your consideration.

Request: Camera/Camcorder or Smartphone (Queens) Hello. I hope everyone is doing well. I am a student enrolling in film and photography classes and am on a very fixed budget wondering if anyone can spare a camera (preferably digital w/o delay) and/or camcorder like a Canon, Nikon, Vivitar, Sony or any will do. It can be old I don’t mind I will make the most out of whatever I am blessed with. My current phone has such poor camera quality so if anyone has a spare backup smartphone (android, iPhone, anything) that will also do. I will, of course, travel to you, so I am not confined to Queens. Thank you all for your consideration. Stay safe and be well.

Request: Chromebook (Queens) Expired Hi everyone. I am a film student and just finished my first semester and ran into issues with the computer I used for my early productions. While I was editing my films together it was such a slow process because I had to have countless class curriculum tabs open and online tutorials as I am learning as I go along and because of this it slowed down my editing and caused my computer to render files much much slower and I was left to submit a few assignments late because of this. I was thinking if perhaps anyone had a chromebook they no longer had use for I would make great use of it by relegating tabs to that device so it can free up as much processing power for my film productions to complete on time. Thank you for your consideration I hope everyone is staying safe.

Request: Gas cannister (Queens) Expired Hi does anyone have a small empty gas canister they do not use or do not need anymore? I live far from a gas station and it would be helpful as I drive a scooter that guzzles gas and sometimes I forget to fill up or tired to go a long way at the end of work so it would be very helpful. Thank you for your consideration 🙏
