HELP KRYSTAL RECOVER & CONTINUE HER ART!
Donation protected
Hi there! :) If you don't know me already, my name is Krystal Wolf and I am an artist, filmmaker, & photographer.
A BIT OF BACKGROUND:
Since getting my BFA in 2012, I have worked multiple jobs at a time, ran an online art shop, written/directed films, and have been doing any freelance jobs I can in the art/film industry. I have also been actively involved in dozens of local art shows/projects over the years. A few months ago, I was unexpectedly laid off from my 9-5 job because the business was going under. (I really needed this job due to some current health related limitations.)
In addition to getting laid off, I have been privately struggling with multiple health issues, one of which just landed me in the ER last week because I couldn't breathe properly and found out that I needed an immediate blood transfusion because my Hgb was dangerously low and wasn't allowing oxygen to travel through my body properly. This incident made me face the reality that I have been working so hard the over the years that I have really let my health issues take a backseat.
WHY I NEED HELP:
I have a really difficult time asking for help, but after my health scare this month, I realized I need to prioritize my health right now and take the steps to get my it back on track. I still have been actively looking for jobs that will allow me to sit down most of the time because I am still unable to breathe properly. (It is going to take a while to get my Hgb to a normal level.) I also have some other chronic health issues I need to get help with as well. To be honest, it is extremely difficult trying to find a job in my industry as it is, let alone one that is compatible with my current health limitations. To top it off, my online shop has been really slow the last few months.
As a result, I am currently behind on my bills/rent.
ANYTHING HELPS:
I know times are tough for everyone with how expensive everything is now.
If you are able, anything helps. Whether it's $5 or $100, I truly would appreciate any help I can get during this time. If you donate $90 or more, I would love to thank you by making you either a sketch or something similar to the magical items I sell in my online shop! (If you are interested)
Thank you so much for any donations you make to help me out during this difficult time. I truly appreciate it & hope you are also remembering to take care of yourselves as well. <3
