Help Maika Recover from Medical Emergencies

Hi all, my name is Olivia, and I'm starting this GFM with our friend Kim on behalf of Maika.

As some of you may be aware, SOZOMAIKA (You might know her from her incredible DC comic covers at https://www.sozomaika.com) was hospitalized just before New Year's Eve. Without giving away too many personal details, after intense pain and checking herself into the ER, it was found that some of her internal organs had started to rupture during a time she had already been fighting the flu. She was given supportive emergency fluids and was in the hospital for over 12 hours. Over the last few days, it has been incredibly hard for her to have even enough energy to keep any water or food down, let alone chip away at any work. To make matters worse, she just relocated and has not yet found a permanent living space.

The funds raised will be enough to cover rent, any missed or turned down work while she recovers, labwork testing and bills for the ER visit, and any refunds she may have to issue for outstanding commissions. It will also buy her some much-needed time to recover from the burnout that resulted in these serious health issues and get some much-needed rest.

I will update this as I learn more but for now, please chip in to support a fantastic artist while she recovers. If you can't donate, share! Kim will be handling all donations to protect Maika's personal info, but we will make sure to update with screencaps of money transfers. :)
