Hi, my name is S, and I’m reaching out during one of the most challenging times in my life. I’m a professional tattoo artist and painter, and for years I’ve dedicated myself to creating art that inspires and connects with people. However, life has thrown me some unexpected challenges, and now I’m in a financial crisis.

Right now, I’m struggling to cover my basic needs—most urgently, my rent, which is due on December 16th. I’m also trying to manage the costs of food and groceries while keeping the holiday spirit alive for Christmas. I know this time of year is already tough for so many, but I’m humbly asking for your help to make it through this month.

Why I Need Help:

I’ve been doing everything I can to get back on my feet. Recently, I even tried to find a job working in a bar, but things didn’t go as smoothly as I had hoped. On top of the financial stress, I also live with ADHD, anxiety, and panic attacks, which make managing daily life and work even more challenging. Despite my best efforts, it feels like I’m hitting one roadblock after another.

How Your Support Can Help:

Rent: The most urgent need, to ensure I can stay in my home.

Groceries & Essentials: So I can eat and take care of myself while focusing on my art and finding a stable solution.

Christmas: Any additional support will help me bring some holiday cheer to my family and loved ones.

Why This Matters:

Art is my passion and livelihood, but as a freelancer, it’s been hard to find consistent income lately. I’ve been doing my best to push through these challenges, but I’ve reached a point where I need to ask for help. Your support will not only help me meet these essential needs but also allow me to continue creating and working toward a brighter future.

No amount is too small—every bit makes a difference. If you can’t donate, sharing this campaign with others would mean the world to me.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story. From the bottom of my heart, I’m grateful for any kindness you can offer during this difficult time.

With love and gratitude,

The Starving Artist
