Hey, kids. I've been having a really tough few months and I guess it's time to lay it out to you guys.
Firstly, we've been trying to sell my brother's house. I'm renting a room from him, taking care of my aging mother, and living off of my brother's generosity as best I can while being as little of a burden as I can.
My dog has gotten sick over the last week or so, and now is showing most of the signs of being in the early stages of diabetic ketoacidosis, which is a condition requiring immediate emergency care. Being flat broke, I am not entirely sure how I'm going to provide her that care.
The truth is, right now I have no money. I can't refund any of my commissioners. I can't pay my bills. I can't help my dog. But I am still working, however slowly, to try and fulfill the promises I've made to my customers. I have a credit score in the low 400s thanks to some emergency medical loans and ill-advised credit building efforts, and a work history of two part-time jobs and a decade of bit-rate art selling on the internet. I live in one of the most economically depressed areas of the most expensive state in the Union. I don't have enough money to move to a cheaper state and no prospects anywhere. I am, in simple terms, a failure.
But I'm not giving up.
This isn't me asking for pity, and I'm not trying to take advantage of anybody. This is me being as honest as I can with you all, and just maybe telling myself in concrete terms I can't shy away from that I don't know what I'm going to do. Some kind words are appreciated. All I can do is try to keep going forward and trying to get the work done to the best of my ability. Thank you for your patience.
All that being said, I'm no longer in a position where I can be too proud to ask for help. I need help badly.
I'm asking for $400 in this campaign: enough for groceries and my phone data bill for the month, plus a vet trip for my dog.
I've never done one of these things before. I was raised by a single mother who herself has always had a hard time asking for help. But I can't pretend like a can right this ship on my own. Just this little bit of money would be enough to keep me stable while I get back on track with my commitments, and give my dog the best chance at surviving her current medical crisis. If you feel like that is a worthwhile cause, I will appreciate whatever you can give. Thank you.
