Fund Raising for a Vegetable/herb Dehydrator

Due to my very strict diet which totally controls my type two diabetes and gout/arthritis, I am asking for any assistance please with donations to raise funds for a good dehydrator.  I have been using a small and very fragile biltong maker which takes as much as five days to dry 750g tomatoes, and three days to dry butternut for instance.  It is too small and I am feeling at this time, that it is extremely urgent that I stock up on foods for times of trouble.  Being able to buy a good dehydrator that will produce a greater quantity of dried foods in a shorter period of time would lift a huge amount of anxiety from me.
 
In 2012, I weighed 227kg… I suffered from very many health problems, including high blood pressure, rapid pulse, regular heart palpitations, undiagnosed diabetes and acute gout attacks, migraine headaches, dangerous water retention and so much more.  I was on chronic medication for all of these.  Since I started to study Logotherapy and gained control over my eating habits as a result and have been taking on more and more responsibility for my mental and physical health, I stopped ALL carbohydrates and sugar foods, including fruits… except, I do still eat one small apple a day.  I lost 52kg’s and stopped ALL chronic medications and now, on my strict diet, I live as if I don’t have diabetes anymore.  I also have not had an acute gout attack since 2017, (which I also believe is due to a dear colleague, who has helped so much to make my life easier), and all the other negative symptoms of obesity have literally faded away.  I’ve never been physically healthier than I am right now! 
 
The dehydrator I’d like to purchase - Please help me to raise the funds needed:

This is for the one with the 26 hour timer.  I think that would be more than good enough, but there is a more expensive one with a 48 hour timer at: R8795

My daughter in law has also found a Genesis vacuum sealer for R700 to use for packing the dried vegetables and herbs (and fruits, etc. for my son)… it looks like that’s quite a bargain, as ordering online, it would cost: R1399.

Please help me to keep to my diet, as I am so worried that there might become a problem where I would not be able to find the foods I need to survive.  My garden is very small, but sometimes during a good growing season, we have some excess vegetables which could be dried and saved for another time.  Also when there are specials at the supermarket, we could purchase some of those to dry.  With the dehydrator, I might even, be able to help our family and others, and also use it to subsidise our income which would be great!

    Since as far back as I can remember, family, friends, complete strangers and strangely even animals (birds included) have come to me for help and comfort and I have always felt the calling to be there for others in any way that I possibly can.
