Crowned
I've been dealing with some hard times. Some people know I've been offline recently, and a part of that was because I've been in pain that was connected to work I got done last month. I needed further emergency dental work due to immense pain, which meant getting a crown despite lacking the funds necessary. I don't like asking for help, but since I'm in a pinch I'm raising money to meet a $1K goal. I've come up with a wide variety of ways others can help me out, so please read on - sharing with others would help me out too!!
Twitch Streams
I'll be streaming twice a week on Twitch: Mondays & Wednesdays at 9am PT! I had to take an extended break because of pain, but I'm planning to at least stream the last two weeks of February with another short break afterward once my final crown is delivered. I'll be kicking off Monday, February 19th with a $15 Doodle Stream, then showing off a hidden gem with a special guest and celebrating Pokemon Day!
Commissions
Would you like me to draw something for you? You're in luck!! I have limited slots for character art open: 4 slots half-body, 5 slots full body. I'd love to draw for you, whether it's your own character or a fave from media you like! Please DM me on social media (instagram, twitch, etc) with details!!
**Update 2/19**: I only have 3 Half-Body & 3 Full Body slots remaining! Please reach out if you'd like to claim them!
Dragon Zine
I've been hard at work on a zine featuring dragons!! This PWYW zine is technically free, but if you choose to support with money everything will go toward my medical bills. This is a great way to help, no matter how little or how much you'd like to give. I'm really excited to share what I've been making very soon!
Donations
I'm also accepting straight-up donations. If you're sending anything, Venmo is the best way to help, but otherwise if you just wish to send a little bit without anything in return (or live in a place where Venmo isn't set up) you're welcome to share with me via my Tip Jar! I deeply appreciate every bit I receive! (For those who wish to know my Venmo, please reach out directly on one of my socials!)
That's all for now!
Thanks so much for reading! I'm hoping this is the final time I have to reach out for so much help - it seems like this last bit of dental work will get me by for a very long time. This goal is steep, but I'm hoping that by offering ways of giving back for help that I can reach the amount I need quickly (it came directly out of my living expenses, for which I don't have a cushion...)
For full transparency: there's a small chance I'll have to get a root canal on top of this crown (which would be an additional $800), but I'm not adding that to my goal unless it's 100% happening. Anyhow, please know that even just by sharing this with others helps me out too! I appreciate you!!
**Progress Note 2/19:**
I REACHED $1K!!! Thank you so dearly to everyone who sent money my way, shared my posts, or even just made sure I was doing okay - the power of friendship is truly what's keeping me going! I'm keeping my remaining commission slots (3 Half-Body and 3 Full Body) open since I'm still unsure if I'll need a root canal. Even if that doesn't end up happening, I'll be putting all funds from commissions, the Dragon Zine, and otherwise specifically toward future medical needs or important life expenses, so the money is still going to important use. Thank you again!
