If you dont want to read something dire and depressing, then I do not blame you for ignoring this post. Please go about your day, and I hold no ill-will. If otherwise, then please read onward.

I also want to make this clear too: If you dont want to help or cannot help for any reason, that is completely okay. I understand and I do not hold that against anyone, everyone has their reasons and their own worries and responsibilities. There is no need to affirm to me, "I wish i could help but i can't because-" since I know not everyone is able to do so, so please dont burden yourself with explaining yourself to me, it is okay to be left unsaid. Im not ever going to hold it against anyone that cant help out, and there are absolutely bigger worries in the world to be caring about anyway.

Now, with that all said,

I'm sorry to make a post like this again, but I must ask for help from any who can give it. I know its unpleasant to see this sort of thing, and it is humiliating for me to have to ask others for help, which is always very difficult for me to do in the first place.

I am still injured, and its hard for me to admit, but I'm currently temporarily handicapped due to it. As followers here can see I can at least do digital art again thankfully but holding and using a pencil is currently still extremely difficult for me to do.

Long story short: My family and I were already very poor but we are now being hit with a huge bill we are absolutely too broke to pay and I'm trying to find any way i can help despite my limitations.

Patreon is still my only point of income, but at the time of typing this i currently make only around $225 a month there, which as you know is far below enough for any adult to live off of in a month in regards to bills. It has gotten to the point that we have been budgeting as much as we can, and some nights just going hungry to save money.

I understand Commissions are a good way as well, but Ive been unable to consistently do those for a long time now, due to the pressure and difficulty of fulfilling those, so commissions are not a viable option for me right now.

If anyone reading this is able to donate to my Patreon, then I'm asking for your support, even if you can only donate for a short time, even a dollar helps and adds up if many people do it. You will have access to rewards there that I post at the end of every month including pencil sketches (which i had drawn before my injury), colored digital art, and music i compose monthly. I have to be honest and say the 15 tier was for monthly sketch requests but due to my injury i haven't been able to do that for now, so that tier has been just an extra colored digital art every month to fill the gap for now.

My patreon is here if you want to help

remember, even a single dollar helps me. if 100 people donated a dollar to me a month, then that's 100 in total, makes sense right?

If you read up to this point, then thank you for your time and understanding, even if you decide not to donate I still appreciate that you took the time out of your day to check all of this. I am a person who doesn't like putting my burdens on others, and i tend to put on a facade that all is well and fine no matter how bad its been getting.

Outside of this news post here, I will continue to prefer to write as if nothing is wrong, and I will continue to draw and share art for as long as my body functions and breath leaves my lungs.

So if you want to enjoy yourself and look at my artwork and not think about any of this depressing stuff, thats ok, i will always make more art as it's my biggest passion in life.
