Explain your plan

Tell us about how you contribute currently, and how you would contribute if WMF were to gift a used laptop to you.

I am contributing Wikipedia since 2016 and 2017 in kannada and tulu Wikipedia respectively. Also contributing to Tulu Wiktionary (that is currently in incubator mode) since 2020. I added 34 and 38 new articles(new page) in Kannada wikipedia and Tulu wikipedia respectively. I have been contributing to Wikipedia using laptop. I have purchased a seconds laptop only for contribution to wiki projects and It comes repair again & again with some hardware issues. So, in order to continue my contribution to Wikipedia this is the right opportunity that I found.

So hereby I request WMF to understand my problem and gift me a laptop to continue my contribution to Wikimedia and it’s sister projects and help me to uplift Tulu Wikipedia also.
