Hello world, fellow humans!

I’m here to ask a favor, from everyone, for a situation that you probably hear often because perhaps it feels shady to you or you could think that it’s ridiculous that people put themselves in situations only to then shamelessly beg for help when others are working hard to make it but I can assure you that starting this wasn’t easy, having to talk my issues to people I didn’t want knowing because I knew they wouldn’t care but honestly having pride isn’t something I can really afford to have right now and this is a sort of last resort.

To tell you a summary of my story: I’m Hadjir, a 20 year old girl living in Morocco, not my native country and in my native country either I don’t have any family nor friends (except the few who sacrificed themselves to help me but can’t do so for they are also just in college struggling) to support me and my mother who with all these matters has gotten sick with time, because we lost our fathers earning capabilities for he is currently in jail after his associate stole clients money and his (my father’s) only to runaway, leaving my dad to be judged as partner in crime and to top it all off he who was already having health issues due to his old age he is currently in a disabled state and without any source of income trying to make him get better isn’t easy, I’m trying to find a job, but it’s still not working out because not having gone to college I have no qualifications and at this rate we are so close to being homeless I’ve decided to open a fundraiser and maybe with the help of God and people’s generosity, just maybe I could get the help I need to get through this situation me and my mother relying on me right now.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, I’m sorry If this took more than a minute 😭 I will leave the links below just in case anyone would be willing to contribute and help us out 🙏🙏 Or if anyone would like a commission in exchange? ThoughI don’t feel like my “art” is stable enough to be sold to anyone.

I don’t typically make posts like this but as someone who has a lot of friends who are artists, I really cannot stand this person going on like this and being enabled by their viewer base.

Yuuki is a “graphic designer” on Twitch who makes and sells graphics ranging from banners, panels, and stream scenes. I’ve commissioned her in the past and was a viewer myself, so I’ve spent a lot of time watching how she creates these things. Now, I’m not saying the time she puts into these pieces isn’t a work in itself, it’s about how she goes about it. From my experience in watching her, she pulls a lot of images from Google and doesn’t take the time to credit anyone for any of the works she uses (whether it be artwork, brushes, render packs, etc). even when a lot of these artists explicitly state either to 1) not use their works or 2) provide credit when used. **read below the cut for proofs/examples
