(emergency fundraising post, tl;dr at the end)
So the three worst possible things happened last night.
We found out my partner's family has COVID, my laptop stopped working and I had to reset it, and we're getting evicted.
If you've never heard of me before hi! I'm Crow or Jon and I'm a disabled trans poc! I'm an artist and currently all the money I make is coming from commissions!
My partner @existingghost and I live on the east coast in a house that is literally caving in on itself and becoming unsafe to live in, with five other people, two dogs, two rabbits, four cats, chickens and ducks. We knew there was a timer on how long we could stay living there safely, but this all happened at the worst possible time.
I just exited an inpatient facility not even a week ago after having to voluntarily admit (paid for by Medicaid) and now my mental health is approaching a standstill once again.
My partner's mom primarily supports us (their name is Cookie and they're an awesome queer mom!) They hardly manage to scrape by working a chauffer job with a limo company and she supplements it with doordash, but she's got covid and can't work for two weeks, plus she hardly makes enough to cover our heavily discounted rent and live, and neither Ghost or myself have a job despite desperately applying for months to jobs. There's only one other person in the house who works and he never pays his rent. So finding a place to move to seems extremely unlikely if not completely impossible. We need to save up for that, and a lot of the funds we collect will probably end up going to that!
I have to fund for our isolation. We're currently isolating in a friend's basement ( @hazardsoflove ) , not allowed upstairs into the house and we're entirely 100% broke. We have zero food for the next two weeks and we have no other resources. We brought clothes and shower stuff, and our computers so we could do art, but other than that we have nothing we really need to survive. So if there's anything that anyone can spare, I'd really really appreciate it. We have shared one bag of mini Cadbury eggs today and haven't eaten anything else (it's 5:10p)
Lastly my computer is on the fritz
This is the least urgent of all the issues but I'm a digital artist and all of my work is done on my computer! I recently had to delete all of my art and my program to get my computer to boot, and it's still functioning strangely with drivers going out left and right, and I desperately need a new one so I can continue to make money.
If you can donate anything at all please do! Even a dollar is helpful genuinely!
Tl;dr my partner and I are isolating and have no food and have to save up for a new place to live and a new computer!
My Venmo is @cloud-apollo
You can dm me for my Kofi page! Thank you so so much for helping and even just sharing this and boosting it means a lot!
