Help Vinta Stay Housed and Buy Time

Vinta Crystal is organizing this fundraiser.

Donation protected

Hi there, my name is Vinta, AKA Mysta Crystal.

I'm in an emergency situation and facing homelessness. I'm desperate for work, donations, commissions, anything to get by. Please help me stay off the streets. Funding goes straight to paying rent.

I'm a growing artist. I specialize in 3D textures for avatars/models used in VRChat, but I have lots of art forms I love to dabble in, from traditional graphite drawings to even small attempts at music. I very recently graduated college with an Associate of Applied Sciences, majoring in Multimedia.

I've been searching nearly every day for the past month to find a job, even outside of my major field and looking for opportunities for training in new fields, just in order to generate income and kick-start my life. The results have been slow and unsuccessful, but I'm still trying.

I even more recently opened myself up for commissions for avatars. I've gotten a few successful orders, with more potentially in the works, but I'm working from the ground up to build myself a work history and gain more views.

The problem is, I might not have enough time to foster my passions or wait for an interview.

I've run out of all the money from my college loans. I tried not to take out too much and build too much debt, and each quarter I would barely make it by while making sure rent was secured. I can't keep leaning my rent share on my roommates, it's not fair to them and it's extremely irresponsible.

I'm trying to do the right things, between job searching and putting myself out to trade my skills for income, but time isn't on my side and I have to figure out a temporary solution while I grow.

So I'm very humbly asking the internet for help. Any amount helps.

My share of the rent is currently $505/month. I currently only need $350 to finish a month, but honestly if there's any chance of receiving more, I would love to be able to make sure the rest of this lease gets taken care of ($2020 in total) so I can focus harder on job applications and even attempt more forms of commissions.

If you can't donate, I would heavily appreciate it if you could help spread word of my commission work.

Thank you for taking the time to read my plea.

Hope your days stay Crystal Clear.
