Hi Everyone, on my birthday of this year, May 15th, I was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer, it’s a malignant mass that that grown into/against my sciatic nerve in my right leg. This mass has not only cut feeling to my leg so that I can no longer walk, but with it affecting my sciatic nerve it has also caused a lot of chronic pain that palliative care has not seemed to find corrective action for yet. Between my inability to walk and the constant pain, I have not been able to return to working as I would like to have, which has definitely begun to accumulate. I have tried to stay as independent as I possible after about 3 months I am at a point where I am able to admit I could really use some financial assistance, as the bills don’t stop.

normally I do freelance work as an Illustrator and would love to get back to offering those services as soon as I’m feeling better but at the moment I’m being sedated around 16-19 hours a day just to stay comfortable. Once I’m in a better place I’d love to offer discounted portraits to anyone who donated so if you do, please keep your receipts as proof for future orders!

Thank you sooooo much it seriously means so much to me that you have all asked to step up and help me when I’m in such low place. There aren’t enough hugs in the world to show my gratitude.
