Please help a young disabled queer artist pay bills after pet loss
hello everyone. I recently had to say goodbye to my best friend in December and it has been really hard on me. I am about 7 thousand dollars in debt due to his medical care because he was hospitalized three times, and his ongoing treatments were expensive (I live in one of the most expensive states in the US and he had to be seen by specialists). I paid for most of his care and supplies with my leave benefits but I often fell short and had to use my credit cards. I have plenty of proof of my expenses in receipts and statements I can send.
I became unemployed right after losing my cat because my employer did not want to give me accommodations after my medical leave. I can't really get unemployment because my disabilities limit what jobs I can apply to. I'm also not eligible for cash assistance because I don't have children and I'm not applying for Social Security (they would limit me further).
I am hoping to get between $400-800 a month to stay on top of interest. I have to pay off as much I can of 3 thousand dollars by May because they will charge me interest after that.
Please help in any way you can, I know times are hard for many people so reblogging and sharing my GoFundMe anywhere you can would help a lot. With such a high goal I need a lot of reach.
Hello, I'm Kay. I'm raising funds to pay off the debt for my beloved cat, Skunk,… Kay Velez needs your support for Settle Skunk's Vet Debt:
I also have to pay $450 a month to keep my car so I'm open to digital and traditional art commissions if you're interested in that, please let me know. I enjoy making art of animals and animal characters and other nature subjects. I'd like to offer $1 per minute in 15-20 minute slots because I need to challenge myself to finish art more quickly.
These would be flat simplistic digital art pieces or ink/colored pencil drawings. More depth and complexity can be added with more time. You can go through "my art" tag on my blog to see some examples of what I make, I can't dig through stuff to attach them here currently. I can send more examples if you need them.
I don't think I posted my gouache pet portraits but that's something I like to do also. These would be a higher price, because they take longer. I would like to offer more in the future when I have things set up officially like sewing patterns and finished plushies or quilts so if you are interested in that, please follow me.
Please also consider blazing this post if you are able, I would be very grateful.
