Support Needed prt3 END:

YOU GUYS!
There was a total of 21 donations!
21!!
I'm so humbled! When I saw this initially on the 25th, I actually cried a little. I woke up with this wonderful surprise that I SMASHED this goal to help with my mum's vet bill! It's been paid on time and everything worked out well. I literally cannot thank everyone enough!! I was able to complete this thanks to everyone! I will be finishing up orders asap as well, so make sure to check out the ko-fi link if you want to see some of the results.

THANK YOU <3

In other news, Renn.Fest is now over with as well, which means I'll be returning to a normal schedule once more. With all that has happened, things are FINALLY settling down as well. There's no funeral date set yet, but mum said she's aiming for something early in October, so I hope she gets that set up soon so that last bit of this can be completed and over with. The next parts after this will be longer tasks but plenty of breaks in between to figure things out. My mum plans to set up a GoFundMe page to help with some bills since my partner and I just aren't able to do so. We paid for a good chunk of stuff as is, but we cannot keep supporting her indefinitely. We are working with her to see what we can do and what plans we can set up to make sure she remains stable enough each month. It does mean some sacrifices may have to be made for a bit of time, but well, we've been there too. It would be nice, when the economy settles down of course, to get mum moved into a smaller, more manageable place, but for now, that simply isn't an option. It would cost her more in a new place, even if downsizing, rather than where she currently is, so we have to work with what we got thus far. The beauty is, we're at least not alone so I don't have to be stressed and strung up about everything. We're going to get through this. I mostly just want the funeral to be over with so that way the focus can be entirely on finances rather than other matters.

I do feel the ending of Renn.Fest was a bit bittersweet, as it always is, but I'm glad it's over too. I'm looking forward to testing out some new hobbies and plan for a few new future things to help me progress as an artist! I look forward to what the future may bring!

Thank you and have a great week everyone!

While the chaos continues, I am trying to do what I can from my end. For now, I'll cover some unpaid vet bills and if there's any luck on my side, maybe earn some of that money back through some commissions or something.

If that's not an options, I do also have some specialty $10+ usd commissions and of course, my Patreon open as well for $2 and up tiers with additional goodies.

Within a week, you guys took this from 5% to 74%!! I'm so humbled by everyone's assistance in this matter and I am working through the commissions for this as quickly as I can for everyone. You all have been amazing and with just a little extra push, that 100% could surely be reached! 

THANK YOU!

In terms of the family matters, things are still being behind schedule. Some things have fallen through but we haven't exhausted all the options just yet. I am heavily looking forward to when all this is over though. My personal and work schedule are so out of whack right now. It makes things difficult when you're trying to balance a few things at once it seems. We are starting to slow though finally and hopefully the last of what we need for the funeral will arrive shortly so we can settle on a date and get this over with. It's been frustrating not being able to progress in that area all because we have to wait on someone else who said it would only take a few days and it's been over a week...not much we can do about it though but just continue to be patient. 

We'll get there.....eventually.

Thank you and have a great week everyone!

Now, the reason for all this...ALL THIS (all the things above) is that father passed away about a week ago. I couldn't mention it sooner due to his will, but the week of staying silent on the info is past. That being said, he left my mother with numerous debts and no money to keep up finances. Not only did my partner and I have to shelf out money for this prick's funerary costs, but I personally have helped with other finances, such as this overdue vet bill, and finding ways to hopefully get my mum's finances back. That has taken a lot of time out of me and a lot of energy I do not have as an introvert. Even though, in many cases, by the average mind, you would say my mum should've known better, but the issue runs deep and the manipulation has been around for 51 years. No matter how hard one may try, you do not get over that in a fortnight and lucky if you can afford therapists to help you get such trauma settled in a year, of which we could not. So thus, here we are, mum saddled with several debts and barely enough money to buy a week's worth of groceries. I've been doing what I can, and though she's getting stuff from social security, the things she could've gotten from my dad after death are falling short because he only half assed the paperwork, just like he half assed everything else in his life. 

My partner and I are currently trying to clean up his car to sell for mum, but it's...rough, to say it kindly and we also found mold in the car....and we can't afford to get it professionally cleaned. I'd be shocked if we could get anyone to buy it for more than the cost of scrap metal, but we'll try anyway. As to what to do after that, I've no clue. My partner and I cannot keep dish out our finances to help her so we're all stuck between a rock and a brick wall, yippy.

Hence the stress as of late and the pure frustration and anger. I'm trying to hanging on, but it's hard. With me not getting art jobs in or finding any that I could try out for or fit into, with minimal support toward my work or ability to pay for things like ads or to drive out to places, I literally just wanna cry. I haven't felt this terrible since I was scammed back in 2014 where I lost thousands of usd and my dream project. I feel so...stuck, and lost. It's a scary situation and I don't even know where to start most days. I try to take it a day at a time, but there are moments where I sit down and all of a sudden, everything that still needs to be done and things that are still happening, suddenly come flooding over me in a tidal wave.

I do hope for things to get better, I really do, but in the mean time, I immensely appreciate your patience. If you can support in any way, that'd be fantastic too. I'm working when I can and even increasing my usual hours and I hope this will eventually be enough.

Thank you and have a great week everyone!

Beyond that, Patreon support would also be helpful too. Working out the currently most immediate bills. We did get at least one covered so the next is the vet bill. I don't expect to get work given how unknown of an artist I am, but even 1 commission would be amazing. I have some YCHs lined up as well soon as another option so we'll see how it all goes and hopefully spark something. I don't have huge contacts, never really did, so much of this difficult time will be faced between only family.

On another note, I do apologize for missing a week. I didn't notice until recently. I think during that time, I was not in the right headspace between trying to actually enjoy a few things and then the stress with family. Not the best combo, so I think I lost track of time there, but here we are, back on track.

I know I also need to update the links here on the site too so I'll work on that when I can. It's way behind but well, need to get real life stuff sorted out and my own mental state before I hash out the smaller things. It's still a long list of things to do and I thank you all for your patience.

I do hope that things really do get better after being so bad lately.

Thank you and have a great week everyone!

Hurdles and Hoops:

I'm 2 seconds away from flipping tables, I swear! 

Those in the discord server know the state of things right now and of course, it's worse off than we anticipated. So, I'll be....busy, at best. Mostly attempting to keep my stress and anger at a calm above anything else, but we'll get there. Just another hurdle to get over and reins to pull to make sure things don't end up in worse states. The main issue is to ensure that my mother will be alright, financially speaking, so my brother and I are doing our best to keep the logic side of things while we move forward. It does put some level of emotional strain on me and motivation to work, but mostly because it does drain a lot of energy from me just to get through these tough times. I have a lot to maintain at the moment, between matters with my mum and matters within my own life and home, so it's going to be a lot for a bit longer. As much as things have turned though, there are some good news in it all, despite the situation of it all. It's hard to say it's really 'good news' but for those living in the US, I'm sure you guys can understand that when it comes to expenses between living and insurance and then to add medical bills on top of it, pet care, and rent...it's a lot. Especially for someone who isn't working (my mum). My partner and I are doing what we can to help out, but it is a lot on us too. 

So, I do apologize if things seem a little wayward and tossed about a bit. We'll get there. I'll get there. Things will be alright but I do appreciate your patience and understanding. 

Thank you and have a great week everyone!
