This is @stylincheetah, editor of A New Calamity, and friend to its author, Faith / @maldreathezora. It is with a heavy heart that I inform you all of Faith’s passing last week, at 5:30am on June 4th. After nearly a decade of fighting against cancer, her battle came to an end with the sunrise of a beautiful morning outside her window. I was able to visit her and say goodbye just hours before she passed, and I am forever grateful to have been given that opportunity. She is, and always will be, dearly missed. 

I have been given access to the blog and Faith’s creative archive in accordance with her wishes. There are no plans to close the community discord at this time, and this page will be kept open in honor of Faith and her legacy. To all of our incredible readers, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for supporting Faith through her journey. ANC has been a massive point of pride, and I know Faith loved working on it dearly. It was my privilege to be able to work alongside her for all of these years. 

I would like to once again highlight Faith’s gofundme on this main blog. Though previously used to bring comfort and care to Faith in her final days, it is now being used to raise money for her memorial service, which her husband is working hard to organize. Please consider donating if you are able.

[If you can, please donate here.]

Additionally, Junior of @growingupgerudo and I will continue selling copies of our tribute ANC fanzine, with all money raised going directly to Faith’s family in this time of mourning.

[Fanzine available here.]

This week has been a difficult one for me, and I cannot imagine how hard it has been for Faith’s family and husband. I ask for everyone’s patience as we navigate this loss. The comic will be placed on an indefinite hiatus in the weeks to come. I hope to find a way to complete the project in the future, as I know Faith would have wanted me to do. However, in the meantime, I will be stepping back to process and pick up the pieces for myself. 

Once again, thank you to everyone for your generosity and overwhelming support. Thank you all for loving Faith and her work. Be kind to yourself. 

Thank you for everything, Faith. Now and always.

I'm still thrilled about this new no-cancer thing. 😂 I'm so alive, so energized ! and I've made a healthy living commitment. Exercise and healthy eating. Gonna get SWOLE. YEA! Really though, i'm feeling very motivated.

The best place to read is anewcalamity.com where i have much better control of the website. There are no ads (the site is patreon funded), and a whole archive where you can find a particular page if you like. And you can comment on each page. Each comment is moderated so no spam gets through.

(silly me, i got the date wrong on the last post. MY BRAIN DON'T WORK. Today is 2-28-2024. Status Update: Getting all my meds in order and exercising lightly. Aquacare has been incredibly helpful in pain management. I am fighting anxiety and depression off with a stick.)

STATUS UPDATE: As many of you may already know, I had a major seizure over New Year's, and after scans it's been made clear that my cancer is back for the 4th time, and it's living rent-free in my brain. I'm on a new chemo and a new anti-seizure medicine. Getting used to everything has been... a challenge.

I'm turning 33 on Valentine's Day. I'm honestly surprised I made it this far. I plan on living for as long as is scientifically possible for someone in my situation. Some happy birthdays would be nice. :3

I'm still about $30/m bucks short of being able to afford nice things like groceries and healthy food. I'm still drawing, which makes me feel satisfied with my life. If you can-- if you can afford to-- if you love this comic-- consider sending me a dollar or two. Just a little goes a long way. And my needs are few. Good food, drawing this comic on my janky old computer. Family. Friends. My cats.

I don't see why I should die just because a few of my cells went nutso.

Love,

-Faith April (Maldrea)
