i was hoping i wouldn’t have to do this but since i’m too tired and stressed to work with public commissions because of everything that’s going on, i have to. me, my mother and my sister lived in an apartment where the only bills we really had to pay was gas and lights/electricity because it was an equal housing opportunity place and my mom was out of work. our uncle wasn’t on the lease but he was crashing on our couch for a while ( and my uncle’s a big guy and it was a shady neighborhood so we kinda needed him ) but was never usually there during the day because he had a job. no pets were allowed but with the help of my therapist my cat became my emotional support animal because if she would have let i would have been a wreck, so it’s safe to say the management had a grudge against us. moving on, my uncle had a job so he was helping us out with the bills and stuff. but then he lost his job and he began job hopping but ended up being without a job. so long story short, our bills weren’t getting paid and my mom’s ventures in crafting weren’t earning a huge income ( no matter how hard she tried ) so our lights and gas were turned off. there was no way to pay either bill, so we had to pack up some stuff and stay with my aunt in the next city over. well, while we were gone, after about a week of being there, someone completely RANSACKED our apartment before inspection so it was a mess. and we failed inspection because of someone else’s doing and were evicted. we don’t know who did the ransacking but it was someone with a key. the fact is, it doesn’t matter who did it because they will be taken care of in the long run. i’m not worried about that right now. what i’m worried about is the well being of my mother and my sister. they’ve been there all seventeen years of my life and my mom has raised us both for thirty-nine years of her life and i don’t like seeing her like this. we have literally hit rock bottom and it’s even a miracle that our aunt and uncle are even letting us stay with them now. what i’m asking for is donations. i hate asking for things, especially money, but we need something to get us on our feet. you don’t have to donate like $1000 or anything, just a little something to help us with past due bills, saving up a fund, buying some food, etc. it would mean the world to me, my mom and my sister. the only way to donate is through paypal ( [email protected] ) at the moment &. if you don’t have paypal and would like to discuss another payment option, just message me. in return, if you would like, i’ll make you an appreciation gift in photoshop. even if you can’t donate anything, spread the word, we need all the help we can get. thank you.
