help a disabled freelance artist escape debt & pay bills

Donation protected
hello, i am harper. i am phys. disabled and i struggle with severe mental health issues.

which is why i'm making this post.

in the past year and a half, my apartment has caught on fire, my dog has died of old age, someone i love dearly was diagnosed with cancer, and my mental and physical health has only gotten worse as a result; i have fallen severely behind on bills, i can barely afford to feed myself, and due to inflation, my line of work, which is a character designer/freelance artist, has become something that yields very little results these days, and i also was unable to work for a long period due to the reasons listed above hindering me, as i'd fallen into a suicidal depressive pit.

i'm finally starting to crawl out, but i need help desperately.

i am currently 6 grand in debt due to bills piling up while i've been unable to work, having to buy a new functioning laptop as it's how i draw / work (aka make money), paying for my dogs euthanasia, good ol' self employement taxes, struggling to buy things i need, what have you; it's gotten bad, and while i've tried to continue working freelance to make up the money i need, i am struggling and i dont see any way out except for to ask for help.





i even took out a loan to help pay off the debt some months ago but i can barely afford to pay it off atop rent and my phone because of how poor business has been for me, and the interest is going to end up making it even worse.




the stress i am in has gotten so bad that my hair falls out, i vomit, and i barely want to eat. i cry almost daily and feel guilty doing anything that isn't work; i can barely enjoy myself and this is a hard, embarrassing post to make because i really wanted to just get out of the hole on my own, but my bank is even currently overdrafted because i've been struggling so poorly to pay off all of my bills. keep in mind, i am disabled and i really do try my hardest, but i feel hopeless and this is my last resort. i truly don't know who else to ask or what else to do.




i just want to be able to feed myself, my dog, pay my rent and have even a fraction of this weight lifted off my shoulders. i can't live like this as i feel like i'm drowning and my pets and roommate do not need this burden on their shoulders as well. please help me, even a boost would mean everything to me.

if you read this, thank you for taking the time out of your day to do so. i really appreciate it.
