I desperately need to get shreddy to the vets, not only is he having some kind of flare up in his eye again, hes been drinking so much water, his nose started changing colour yesterday and he keeps doing these weird spasms/jitters :(
I'm disabled and unemployed and in the middle of a flare-up which has left me unable to draw and therefore unable to take commissions since April. I'm sorry to have to ask but I'm barely scraping by at the moment :(
Taking him in for a checkup is going to cost £50, but I don't know what tests they'll need to do and the average vet bill is £800...
At the very least, check-up + blood test is probably going to cost £220. But my vets do not do payment plans, everything has to be paid after the consultation so I'd like to be as ready as I can be. Anything at all helps :(
£392.36 / £800

cis people: I'm such an ally to trans people! I love them so much
trans people: great. can you do one thing for us? can you not play the shitty wizard video game? the one where the main enemies are the antisemitic Jewish coded goblins teaming up with the wizard nazis? the game based off of a series with antisemitism, racism, slavery apologists, homophobia, and a nazi getting a redemption? the game that gives money directly to the figurehead of a hate movement that gets children in the UK killed? you know that game? don't play it.
cis people: OMG YOU'RE ASKING SO MUCH OF ME!!! YOU'RE SO DEMANDING!!! I'M SORRY I'M NOT PERFECT!!!
this is a game about killing Jewish coded characters after they team up with the literal nazis. there's side quests where you can visit house elves who are slaves, but it's okay because they like being slaves. this game is based off a series filled with antisemitism, racism, homophobia, and more. the lead developer had an anti-sjw alt right youtube channel where he talked about gamergate. money made from this game goes to a violent transphobe who is passing laws to get children killed.
don't play this game. don't buy it. don't pirate it.
I'm not a gamer and I already have a firm personal policy of never giving Rowling another dime of my money, but holy crap, this is even worse than I realised.
We all know Furbies lay Orbeez eggs that Worms on a String hatch from, but did you know that when a Furby escapes captivity it will revert back to its feral long worm form in less than a year
So, short version: me and my family are very short on money at the moment and need money to pay for food and utility bills. The long version I’ll put under the cut.
For this month we need around £220.
I have a paypal.me and a ko-fi you can donate to, as well as a ko-fi store where you can purchase my brushes and toyhouse layouts:
If you'd like to help more longterm, I also have a patreon.
Current total: £155/£220
The long version:
My mother is a self employed cleaner who cleans a number of the local holiday homes here, and I work for her helping her with this. But, rather than me being paid, the money we make from this goes towards covering the rent. This will be relevant later.
My brother pays the other half of our rent, and back during lockdown in 2020 he claimed housing benefits. He was under the impression he was on the lease for the rent, and checks were less thorough during lockdown because of the general pressure the government was under.
It has come to light that he was not on the lease, and now the government is demanding we pay back everything in full. The exact amount we haven't been told yet, but it is going to be thousands. And, obviously, he is no longer getting housing benefits, so now we are short on our bills this month.
As well as this, recently I opened up an itch.io storefront—which is great, I love the platform and the opening of it all went really well!
There's just one problem though—I cannot withdraw any of the money I have made from sales until I provide a valid tax ID number, otherwise I will lose 30% I make from my sales when the UK has a special trade deal with the US which means this rate should be 0%.
Obviously, I cannot afford to lose such a significant portion of the sales.
The relevant tax ID number I need to provide is my national insurance number, but like I said earlier I work for my mum but I do not get paid for it. Normally you would get your NI number from your payslips, but I have never received a payslip because I have never been formally employed.
As such I need to request that the government send me my NI number—but they require I prove my identity using two forms of identification. I do not currently have a passport nor do I have a license, my only valid form of ID is my birth certificate, and well. I can't exactly send that twice!
I am in the process of changing my name because I do not wish to carry my father's name, and unfortunately if you change your name you have to pay for an entirely new passport, so while I do desperately need a passport that's going to have to wait until I have changed my name.
So the plan is to get a provisional license, and then I can get my NI number and THEN I can begin receiving money from itch.io, but until then that money is not accessible to me.
But this does all cost money, and I also need to eat this month and pay for my prescriptions, so the £220 total is to cover our electricity & phone bills, as well as getting me food, a provisional license, and paying for my prescriptions. I also am in dire need of new clothes as I've worn holes into almost everything I own, which I was hoping the itch.io funds would go towards, but that is currently in limbo sighs.
In any case, when we know the exact total for what we have to pay back to the government I will update this post with that total.
Just to reiterate, I have a paypal.me, a ko-fi (+ store), and a patreon. Thank you for reading and I hope that explained everything.
