Health update: mom is out of surgery, and I'm out of the urgent care. I told her they gave me some toradol to help with the spasms, and she said "same! We can be the toradol twins!" :)
Uh oh sisters! I'm celebrating this pride month by suddenly going to urgent care! :D
My back started having spasms and I can't stand upright like, at all. Movement just sends pings of excruciating pain along my lower back. God I hope they can do something...
Headed to Whinny City Pony Con? Then I've got some brand new pony goodies for you!
I’m offering pre-orders for pickup, so if there’s something you want, you can grab it in person during the con.
Pickup details are listed in the shop listings. They've entered production, and I'm so excited to share these with you! Feel free to ask if you have any questions~
Hey yall, life update time. I'm gonna be real with you - I'm really struggling, and could use some help 💔
(Non-image version of the text below, as well as links)
I don't know how else to start this; for the past couple of months, things have gotten pretty dire. I need help.
My fiancé and I need to move from California to New Jersey within the next month - My fiancé’s family has graciously offered to let us stay with them in NJ while we recover and look for new housing. The apartment we’re in is awful, and the cost of living expenses are bleeding us dry. And although I love my roommates, this living situation just isn’t working anymore and my fiancé and I very much need our own space to work. Vending at conventions has become my full time job, and due to the scale that I’m working at now, I also need to move to a part of the country with more drivable conventions and more affordable living options.
We were expecting things to go smoothly leading up to our move - things were going well! We made plans to begin this move months ago, and were ready to get the ball rolling. Then shit hit the fan.
In the past two months:
I got scammed by an event I invested hundreds in
I made half of what I usually make at what is (well, was) my most reliable convention
my mom got diagnosed with cancer
my third "permanent" dental crown suddenly broke, and it has to be extracted. This is not the first time this has happened, and it has now restarted the extensive - and expensive - dental work that I thought was long behind me. You can see everything that took place in a previous GoFundMe that I had.
Emotionally and financially, I am exhausted. I haven’t felt this drained in years.
I'm trying to secure loans to help fund the move, but so far I haven't had much luck. So… here I am asking for help.
If you've enjoyed my work, please consider commissioning me, grabbing a goodie from my shop, or tossing a buck to the GoFundMe through the QR code shared below. I'm afraid to ask for help, but I'm in genuine need, and every cent will go towards getting me back on my feet. If you've enjoyed my art over the years, I humbly ask for any support you can provide. I will do my best to pay it forward by continuing to draw for you guys and entertain at the various conventions I attend.
I appreciate every single person who’s spent their time with me and my artwork, and want to keep sharing that with the world. Thank you for taking the time to read this <3
