Hi! My name is Toonly (not my actual name, just the name I go by online, lol). I'm a college student studying to become an elementary school teacher, and I'm also a creative soul who loves voice acting, art, animation, singing, and lending a helping hand whenever I can.

Because I love helping others, I was very hesitant about making this GoFundMe, since I'm much more comfortable giving to others than asking others to give to me. But at this point in my life, I don't think I have much of a choice.

I'm starting this GoFundMe because my family and I are going through a serious financial crisis, and we're struggling to see a stable path moving forward. There are ongoing family and financial circumstances that have made it increasingly difficult for the money we have to cover the expenses we need to keep up with. As things continue, we're becoming increasingly concerned about our housing and overall financial stability.

I'm doing everything I can to help. I currently have a job interview lined up, and I'm actively looking for additional employment opportunities, especially in voice acting. However, until I actually receive a job offer, I can't guarantee that I'll have a strong and stable income. I may need to take on multiple jobs to help support myself and my family, and I'm worried that doing so could eventually force me to put college on hold.

College is extremely important to me. I'm working toward becoming an elementary school teacher, and I've been working as hard as I can toward that goal. I don't want financial circumstances to force me to give up on my education and the career I've been working toward.

At the same time, I want to become more financially independent. One of my goals is to eventually move into my own apartment nearby. Having my own place would give me greater independence and stability while also taking some financial pressure off my dad and allowing me to contribute more effectively without being financially dependent on the household.

Funds raised will primarily go toward essential expenses, including housing, transportation and car expenses, my phone and computer, college tuition and additional educational costs, moving expenses, and other necessities. Some of the funds will also help me support my dad and contribute toward keeping our household financially stable while we work through this situation.

If we're able to get through the immediate financial crisis, I'd also like to put some of the funds toward things that can help me become more self-sufficient, such as improving the equipment I use for my voice acting work. My creative work is something I genuinely want to pursue as another source of income. If things become more stable, I'd also love to eventually be able to visit some of the wonderful online friends I've made over the years.

I'm not asking anyone to fix our entire situation for us. Like I've said, I'm working to find employment and become self-sufficient. I'm asking for help getting through this difficult period so that I can keep a roof over my head, continue my education, support my family, and work toward a more stable future.

If you're able to donate, even a small amount would mean an incredible amount to me and my family. If you aren't able to donate, sharing this fundraiser around can help just as much by allowing it to reach someone who might be able to help.

I'm also willing to do voice acting commissions! I'll be posting information about those on my social media accounts as another way to support myself and contribute toward my expenses. And honestly, even just interacting with my posts and livestreams helps a bunch too!

Thank you so much for taking the time to read our story and for supporting us during this difficult chapter. Every donation, share, and kind word means more to me than I can express!!
