A local photographer who is battling cancer has set up a campaign in a bid to get some camera equipment to help him continue his passion.
Karl Harold, who lives in Creeslough, cannot work because of his medical condition.
However, that should not stop him making the most of his life and giving back to his family and his local community.
Harold’s amazing pictures have already helped others after he was diagnosed with his illness in 2011.
Whiule running the Errigal hostel in Dunlewey, he created a calendar of his own photographs and raised €1700 which he donated to Letterkenny hospital as a thank you for getting him through the early stages of bladder cancer.
Harold says “Back then I was an avid photographer and spent my free time capturing the wonderful beauty of Co. Donegal. Due to further complications of my illness I had to quit running Errigal hostel which I loved.
“With no job and little money coming in I was forced to sell my camera in order to afford Christmas presents for my two kids.
“Fast forward to now, I would love to get back in photography and again raise money for good causes including supporting my two children.
“I have started a go fund me campaign to help me buy a professional camera setup and have got off to a reasonable start mainly through Facebook.”
Harold added “Life’s challenges may have altered my path, but they have not extinguished my spirit. I am determined to find new ways to express my love for photography, make a difference, and embrace the resilience that has carried me through the most trying of times.”
Would you like to help Harold and contribute in any small way in helping him to get his camera equipment.
