#financial issue

I raised up my prices because I have a bit of an emergency, long story short, mom doesn't have a job and I wanna help her financially. I'm only taking 4 people as of now, taking a break from the 27th of August up to the 31st of August because I want to give myself a chance to catch up on college. I get drawings done in between 2-3 days if it's a full piece with background and everything, so I draw pretty fast. Just in case, these are my previous prices as well as extra info!

*I accept payment through PayPal and Cash App, and I will be sending the drawing through email so that it will be high resolution.

This is real story that happened in China which my mum shared to me, which made me what to share it with you guys.

The article is in Chinese, which I will sort of translate and tell the story.

On June 12, 2015, a girl called Hai Lin, 27, was doing her job on a normal day when she got an urgent call from her Father.

The truck her dad was driving collided with someone, and he had to pay 300,000 RMB (approx 44,705 USD) as medical expenses / compensation.

The problem is, her mum just collapsed of brain hemorrage two months prior, and neither she nor her younger brother were financially abled.

So she planned and thought of something: to ask help from 300 people, so she could borrow 1000 RMB (approx 149 USD) from each person, and planned to return them all in 5 years time, with each month returning 5 people’s debt.

Her reason for choosing this was because of several things:

She saw it a matter of fact to return what she borrowed.

Easier for her to return when they need it

Not a lot of money, so less burden for the lenders.

So she posted it on WeChat (app that works like WhatsApp): No more and no less: 1000 RMB from 300 people, and 5 years to return the debt. Amount accepted through WeChat payment only.

She also had a system of ranking so she numbers all her lenders from 1 to 300, and for those who need it more urgently, she’ll push up the numbers and return the amount earlier.

Soon her friends started sharing it. In just two days, she received the full amount, with over half of the people from strangers.

She got lots of encouraging messages that all said the same thing, “It’ll get better!”, and “you can do it!” And she replied with “Thank you” and lots of emoji.

It took a long time and a lot of determination. She quit her previous job to find another and demanded high pay, then worked damn hard to prove she was worth it.

She did other jobs at the same time to support her mum who landed in the hospital a second time, and she had to hire a caretaker.

Some people wanted their amount a little earlier because of their own issues. Some refused for her to pay them back because they just wanted to help. Some even had deleted her and forgot about it until she sends them the amount and explain the situation. She posted a picture of a user Qing who said:

“Do your best! I’m sure you can return all your debts. Feel free to ask me whenever you need help, haha! Although we didn’t know each other, and lots of friends were against me doing this, but I wanted to prove that there’re still people to believe in, and you just proved me right.”

So she worked hard, experienced a lot, and in the end, she return everyone’s debts and it took her 3 years instead of her predicted 5.

There’s a lot of parts she mentioned that I didn’t fully translate but basically, most people donated the money to her not expecting anything back back cause they just wanted to help someone in need.

So guys, if anyone doubts the world we live in, there’s still humanity and kindness among us.

So, i had my first counseling session today. I felt like shit at the beginning. Because it was supposed to be on 10.30am to 11.30am but my counselor had something else to do that she had to delay my session 30minutes later. It was a long wait. And i was anxious. I was about to cry right there and then bcs i was so nervous i couldnt even breathe properly and yea the fact that it had to be delayed and i had to wait made me so anxious.

But then yea, it was 11am and my session started. She asked me "so how are you?" And i literally SHATTERED INTO MILLION PIECES. Bcs i am SO not fine at all. A lot is going on inside my head. I just said "hmm yea okay lah.." then she could sense i wasnt okay at all lol. I was puzzled for a while bcs idk where to begin. I told her i had lots of things going on. Then i started w me being tired abt studies and the next thing i know i was crying after i mentioned "money". I told her everything about my financial issues and the shit going on in my family and about my uni fees and all. I cried every 30 secs i think bcs it's just so hard. I hate it that I'm so weak to the point i could cry when u mention ONE WORD about my problem. :( I hate that it might look like a pity party and i might look like a weak bitch i hate it. But i had to. 30mins almost past and she suggested me ways to get financial aids and stuff. And when she found out that i dont even have cash in hand right now (i hv some in the bank but the amount is so little and that's for other use), i told her i only ate whatever i hv in my room it's only been like two days i think. She immediately called the financial department.

Now, I've just received 5 food coupon worth RM15. Next week i shall go there again and they'll give me RM20. Ofc i have to fill in forms and stuff but bcs of my current situation (where i got 0 cash) they had to give me the RM15 in advance. I also have to arrange another appointment for a follow-up bcs she said she needs to listen to my other problems too.

NEW YORK | No dispute over children in Donald Trump Jr., wife divorce

NEW YORK — A New York judge has congratulated Donald Trump Jr. and his estranged wife Vanessa for resolving child custody issues as they proceed toward divorce.

State Supreme Court Justice Michael Katz told the couple Thursday that they had protected their five children from an “invasive legal process.”

Norman Heller, a lawyer for Donald Trump Jr., said the couple expects to resolve financial issues within weeks.

The hearing lasted less than 10 minutes.

The Trumps were married in 2005. Vanessa Trump filed for divorce in March. Afterward, they said in a joint statement that they will “always have tremendous respect for each other.”

The 2007 birth of the couple’s first child made Donald Trump Sr. a grandfather a decade before he became president.
