I forgot to mention, I live int he Olympia, WA, USA area.

The idea of Seattle scares the shit out of me. Elevators are one of the phobias I couldn't handle on a day-to-day basis.

Again, thanks to anyone who can do anything to help and/or takes the time to read this.

Ping me when you visit Seattle area. I have a 2007 era working Black Macbook. Happy to give it to you as I was already planning to donate it.

I couldn't figure out how to send a pm on HN so I sent you a message on twitter. That computer would be fantastic. Your kindness means more to me than I'm capable of expressing. Thank you.

I didn't receive the Twitter message. Twitter is not a reliable messaging service. Please send me a message through my service's contact page https://www.peercube.com/welcome/contact.

I just sent a message. I addressed it to Anil (Last name redacted because I don't know if you want that info on HN or not) because that's what twitter said your name is.

If for some reason that doesn't go through, could you please text me at 360-970-0361? I'm petrified of speaking on the telephone. I used to work in call centres; they've left quite the mark on me. When I speak on the phone I go into instant panic attacks.

I'd be happy to meet you in whatever part of town is best for you. I'm staying in Roy (between Tacoma and Oly) so time wise I'm only limited to when the transit gets to Seattle as I can usually find a pretty early ride to the Roy Y.

Thank you again. This means so much to me. The fact that I had multiple people offer in such a short time frame lifts my spirits and kind of makes me tear up a bit.
