Abel Quinones: Recent layoff, struggling to stay afloat

Hello, everyone. My name is Abel Quinones Jr.

I'm an artist in Philadelphia. Ive been here since 2014 and loving everything it's given me.

Im in a very complicated situation currently.

I was somewhat recently laid off from a job with with little to no warning and my unemployment application has been denied twice. Since then I have been struggling to pay bills, utilities (i have gotten letters with threats to turn off light and gas) and rent pretty much by myself. Those who know me know I work hard and that I'm currently looking for a job or other resources to make money to make ends meet. Anything donated will go straight to set bills. I don't like asking, but anything helps at this point, I would be very grateful and more than willing to work out small commissions for doners (if that's something interests them). I know everyone is struggling so please know that I know, and am thankful that you're reading this and helping if you can, please reach out with any questions or commissioning requests
