I'm a blind Youtuber who makes videos about blind life and issues facing blind people, and I'm looking for some support. (self.Blind)

Hey, everyone.
I was born with cataracts and have been almost completely blind for my entire life. I quite frequently post to different subreddits and I try to be an advocate for our community.
Last year I started giving lectures about making games more accessible for the blind, and so far that's taken me all over northern Europe. I've decided that I'd like to try and make my Youtube channel an extension of my lectures, and I've started a Patreon page to try and get some money for things like a ring light, a computer better suited for video editing, and better video editing software. I'd also like to pay someone to help me edit, but that's a long way off.
Any little bit counts. I need to pay taxes on this also so in the end I won't get all that much, but in six months I'd like to be at least slightly more professional-looking.
The link is here. https://www.patreon.com/liciap
And this is my channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/boohuman.
Thanks in advance.

Hello I've subscribed to your youtube channel! I'm also dealing with going blind due to a genetic disease called Choroideremia. However I can still see enough to get around a computer pretty easily. I don't have experience in video editing but would be willing to donate my time, learn, be more involved with the community, and work towards some type of professional gig if things go right? I have a decent computer system at home so maybe I can help out! PM me if you're interested.

Out of pure curiosity, how do you edit your videos?

Please post your yt-channel url, and I'l check it out. I'm always watching blind youtubers, so that I might learn different things about others who are blind.
best of luck to you.
