Hi, my name is Cupid (or Paya) and I am a trans/nonbinary, disabled artist looking for help with raising money to move. I've spent the last few years in a state far from home as my health has declined, and where a lack of medical access has become an increasing problem in my life. Without getting terribly personal about it, my living space as well as the context in which I moved here has been very traumatic, and on top of the worsening of my health, I have been desperate for a way out of the situation that has come to define the last few years of my life.

Graciously, I have been offered a room by some friends, but it is several states away so I have to try and raise funds to move myself, my things, and my cat. I feel very good about it, and think with a little help I can really find myself back on my feet and working towards independence. I know it is a difficult time for everybody, and I've dragged my feet in setting up an official means of crowdfunding because it is embarrassing and stressful in a lot of ways to put myself out there, but I'm at a point where I need the help, and do not think I can raise funds on my own in time for the end of my current lease.

I am an independent artist, and all of the money I currently make is through what little freelance commission work that i can accrue online. It is currently not really paying even for my basic needs, much less room to save. I'm hoping to save enough both for my move and to have a small safety net to help me get by until I can situate myself in my new location, to deal with the inevitability of medical needs, feed myself and my cat(who needs a specialized medical food), and contribute as best as I can to my new household.

I am endlessly grateful to any help I receive, and I am more than happy to pay it back in the form of art requests for anybody who wants a drawing. Thank you to anyone reading this and to anybody who chooses to help me out!
