Howdy y'all

My name is Buck, i am a ftm trans male from Texas. I had been let go from my job of four years in October of 2024, and since then it has been a struggle to keep up with my bills and expenses as well as trying to get a new job. I have tried for the longest time to use art commissions to keep my head above water, but it is not enough and the work I have accumulated through that has been overbearing. Unemployment has been like pulling teeth to get working and I still have not been able to receive payments due to the poor timing, broken website and being ran around in a circle with the automated bots. I do not want to lose my truck, I want to be able to feed my cat and myself, and I want to be able to avoid moving back home as much as I can. Any and all considerations, donations and sharings are so deeply appreciated.

UPDATE 6/25/2025

Howdy everyone, its been some time.

I have made an update to the fundraiser unfortunately. I was hoping I wouldn't have to revisit this, in fact doing all I can to avoid doing so. However, the situation has changed and had become more dire than expected. I have updated the page for anyone to read, I will include it below here;

UPDATE 6/25/2025

Thank you to everyone who had supported me through this chapter of my life. I didn't intend on reopening this, but with more developments having happened I feel pushed to make this a last resort once again.

Ever since the first time I posted this, I had been fulltime job searching to no avail, however, I now work 2 part time jobs that frankly dont pay enough, all while subsisting off of Art Commissions all the same. The new development is that I have to move back home with my mother. 5 years ago, my father had taken his life because of a traumatic brain injury that altered his life and living, and ever since then my mother had been living off the money she had been given from his passing. Early in March, she had let me and my three other siblings of her situation, that the money has run out and there was still sub 50k left on the mortgage of our childhood home that she currently lives in. I've moved back home to help pay my portion of the mortgage which will take about 2 years minimum, if not paid off she would be homeless, and this home means so much to me, more than words can describe. This update is a means of asking for help again, as a last option. I would like to work for my keep as much as I can.

Goal may be extended depending on needs and any unexpected expenses that may arise.

Funds would go toward;

Rent + Home bills + Food (2.4k per month total split with my mother)

Car Note + Insurance (Currently 575 + 137 (trying to refinance at the moment))

Cat Food (22.50 (large bag of food that will last a good while))

If you want to support but want to get something from it, my commissions are pretty much perpetually open which can be found through;
