I'm a venezuelan refugee in Spain since 2019. My focus was entirely on escaping and staying in a safe country. When I got here, I got the help of an accountant/manager to start working legally.
He committed fraud in my name without telling me and refused to take responsibility. I was penalized to pay €8600 for his mistake.
I'll add the whole explanation after the read more because you need context to understand what he did.
And now if I can't pay this thing, my residence will be taken away. I will be deported.
I've tried so hard to raise this money. More work, more marketing, preorders, asking for a loan, but nothing has worked.
I have until next month to pay it so I can renew my residence.
All I wanted was to do things right. I thought seeking a professional to handle the legal aspects of my business was the right thing to do. I thought I could finally breathe after being treated like a criminal for years in Venezuela, when all I want is to make my silly little figurines in peace.
I need to take care of my babies (cats) and my parents who are still stuck in Venezuela. I only make enough to live + take care of them, and it's become clear that I can't raise this money by work alone.
So please, any help is appreciated. Reblogs, orders, commissions. I'm so incredibly embarrassed to make this post, but I'm desperate. I don't want to be deported. I don't want to be an illegal alien. I don't want to live in constant fear again.

There's some context needed to understand what happened, so here it goes.
In Spain, you need to pay a monthly fee of €300 in order to run a business. This goes to the Social Security.
The fee is mandatory, but the government realized it was unfair to charge it from the beginning to a business that's only starting. So they established a reduction of €240 for new entrepreneurs, for 1 year. After that, they'd slowly raise it.
They also gave benefits to people living in certain areas, especially small towns. The fee reduction extended for 6 extra months with this, but only applied as long as you continued to live there for 4 years.
I lived in a small town for 1 year. Then I moved to the closest small city.
But this accountant guy asked for this 6 month extension in my name without my consent.
So then the government demanded I pay the whole €240 for each month ever since I started my business. I went through all the legal processes to ask them to review this thing but it was impossible. They ignored everything. It didn't matter that I only received the benefit for the 1 year that I would've been given anyway for being a new entrepreneur. It didn't matter that I would never be able to afford to pay this in the 15 days they gave me.
If that wasn't enough, I got sick with covid twice, and missed 4 months of work in total, months I got 0 income because they also won't ensure me until I pay the thing. So those fees were also added to the debt + late fees that continue to grow.
Summary: Basically he promised the government I'd live in a small town for 4 years, and when I moved before then (because I had no idea he had done this) they demanded I pay back ALL the benefits they had granted me in the past year.
every once in a while you just gotta go "This Reality Is Not Acceptable" and put yourself all in on one cause and not let up on it until it is done, to make sure at least one fact of that unacceptable reality, changes. at least one more tragedy avoided.
that is what i have chosen to do here.

i'll admit i'm not especially good at drawing more realistic portraits/people, but i took a crack at it for this. in the back of mind, is the thought: i want to be able to draw a proper family portrait for them a year from now, and have nobody suddenly be missing from it.

well @bowsersex I'm very glad you asked, our trailer music was composed by Dale North of Scarlet Moon Productions, the video game music label behind brilliant composers from series like Metal Gear Solid, Dark Souls and more. In fact, one of our stretch goals is having an opening theme for the game composed by a veteran from one of those series.
Meeting our funding goal means an entire OST of slappable beats like this, and every $35+ tier will get a free download of Dale North's PERFECT SELECTION Vol 1., a beautiful 18 track game music album upon the game's completion, along with DATE KNIGHT's OST.
So perhaps we should keep talking about getting this game funded. We have 20 days to make this happen. 👀

Sometimes, nighttime patrols reached the hour when the night swallowed up the distant stars into small, buried asterisks in the sky. Those nights took the longest for Ladybug to scour through, trying to protect the little lights that could be snuffed out of the city. Tonight could have been one of those nights, but the newly installed street lights shone through the block as a guiding beacon.
Chat had whistled appreciatively once they saw the stream of light but he didn’t stay for long, an early morning appointment dragging him back home. But Ladybug let the warm, steady streetlights take her away.
Underneath one lamp, she could breathe in relief at how bright but not blindingly bright it was, like the small shine reflected in Nino’s glasses when he video called to share a new movie he found or like the twinkle in his triumphant smile when he arranged the beat drop to land at the perfect timing. It was a gentle, warm light that Ladybug was content to look at before the moment was gone altogether.
