Hello, I'm Red Cordelia!! In April I made the decision to leave my job due to difficulties with severe stress and anxiety, and to allow myself the space to focus on my personal projects and my mental well-being, as well as to seek out other opportunities that would be better suited for my personal and financial needs. Regrettably, I've largely spent the past several months scrambling to make ends meet while trying to find other employment, burning through the resources and energy that I'd prefer to have put towards art, fulfillment, and my community in order to maintain the foothold I've managed to eke out for myself, and it's long reached a point where I can no longer do so without significant help. I'm still trying to seek out new employment, but it would be incredibly helpful to do so while keeping a roof over my head and my belongings in one place; this fund is only intended to help out with my monthly rent until the end of the year, and anything else I may need I'm planning on covering through other smaller sources of income, like commissions. I'm confident I can figure something out more long-term, but it's been incredibly difficult to do so with this constantly looming over me. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to hear me out, and I genuinely appreciate any help I can get, whether its donations or just sharing.
