Out of Job fund
Donation protected
I want to preface this by saying I am a very private person; one who doesn't often share problems with anyone outside my marriage. However, I am reaching out through GoFundMe today because I am in a spot where I can do little else.
For the last month, I have been more in than out of the hospital with an as of yet unknown ilness that is attacking my liver. I have had CT scans, MRIs, Ultrasounds, a liver biopsy and enough bloodwork to sink a battleship. And while it looked like I was on the mend, like I would be able to go home, I have recently been informed that my liver enzymes are climbing again which, as you might have guessed, means they aren't particularly inclined to let me go.
Now why is this a problem, you might ask. I'm in the best place I could be to deal with this illness, they are doing everything to figure out what the problem is and fix it.
The problem is I am not working and my husband's new job is only parttime to start. We have a car payment that needs to be dealt with, as well as outfitting the vehicle with new tires, getting it insured and plated in Ontario and all that fun stuff. And I can't do anything to help.
So I had an idea. I am not the best artist in the world, but I do take pride in what I can do and hope that it serves as a good enough reward for the donations that do come our way.
I know there are more worthy causes out there, and I am not actually sure I expect to reach my goal, but I am hoping it can help a little.
Thank you.
Note: For any personalized art, please be patient. I am still sick and even sitting up can take it's toll on me.
As well, I do generally only do character pictures but will be broadening my horizons for the case of the fundraiser.
