My name is William, I'm 23, and a college graduate in illustration & graphic design. I have autism and ADHD and I've been afraid to ask for help like this for a while now, mostly because I worry I don't deserve it over others, but recent events have made me change my M.O.

I've been unable to find stable work and especially work that involves the thing I went to school for, and as a result, my income is mostly reliant on freelance work and commissions from friends.

However, I just recently got hospitalized for acute pancreatitis. As a result, I'll be diabetic until I can chisel my weight and fix my dietary habits. While my parents have great insurance, I'm eventually going to have to pay for this insulin myself, and I have almost zero savings funds to keep onto for a rainy day. I'm looking to raise funds to create a buffer for me to bounce back, find a career, pay student loans, and help pay outstanding bills that I assist with paying.

While this issue has been ongoing for a while, my recent diagnosis has gotten me a lot more driven to carve my path and figure stuff out. I just don't think I can do it without some help.

Don't be discouraged if you can't donate much if at all, a few bucks or even a share is fine enough.
