In summary, I'm at high risk of losing the only place I have to live, which is a small corner of a living room in my family's apartment.
I have nowhere else to go, and my rent will be increasing. I am absolutely miserable living here; I am not allowed my own private space, as my dad is always out in the living room with me. I am not given true privacy until 10pm to as late as 1am, and my only space to myself is my bed.
I have been living like this since September, after I initially left the apartment in May to live with a friend & escape abusive circumstances, and had to return to my family as they could no longer take care of me. Without a room free for me, I have taken residence in the corner. I am only allowed the corner, some storage, and a table for my computer.
(Image of the living room as of right now in spoiler)
This is the space I live in; the trash was recently just dumped in front of my bed, as my dad got upset with me for not keeping things tidy. He also put things on top of the roof which caused it to start caving in (though that is off now). I was in the process of cleaning when he yelled at me for not doing it and brought up that he wouldn't care if I left. I stopped after that as I was upset to the point of tears, and then he did this as punishment. I didn't leave my bed for 8 hours...
I've done everything I can to get out of here, however this is the only option I am able to afford and it's causing my health to deteriorate. I have a job, though I was pressured into a retirement saving program by my dad. With what it takes and taxes, I only make 11 USD an hour; one of the only ways to opt out of the program is death. I'm not capable of getting a second or different job.
At this time, I am in an unsafe space with no food or water and unable to leave. I have done anything I can to get any form of professional help since September but absolutely nothing has come of it in months. This is my last resort, and my only option is to leave the state as I have NOTHING here.
Please share this around if you are unable to donate. ANYTHING helps. I just need to be anywhere with a roof over my head that is not risking my life, and I can't do it on my own. I am in a mental crisis, and I can't live like this.
(I have a doc that goes a little more into my situation.)

How much is the goal? I'm on mobile and can't see it :0
3 months, 18 days ago
The goal on Ko-fi? That one was put there a long time ago because Ko-fi requires a limit on the donation widget, i just hid it since before I really didn't have a goal; right now, I'm aiming for $3,000 USD for a mover (will get an exact quote ASAP) and I have around $1,000 right now! (plus $600 for a plane ticket!)
(edit: i actually can't edit the goal because it REALLY bugs out and idk how it works; the actual goal on Ko-fi is 10,000)

Thank you so much, i appreciate it and the share sm!! 💙
3 months, 20 days ago
Made a bulletin linking here! I don't have any money but I could potentially offer my art as another option for the donation thingy?? I'm quite a slow worker/can get overwhelmed a bit easily, but maybe some would still be interested. I dunno. Put examples IC, lemme know if it sounds like something that could help? Understandable if not /gen
3 months, 20 days ago
Thank you so much for sharing, and any and every offer to help is so so greatly appreciated- I can 100% do this, your art is gorgeous!! But I would want to make sure you wouldn't be overwhelming yourself doing this, so are you sure? I can put a disclaimer you work a little slow (i understand , me too) and, if you get to your limit, you're always free to request to be taken off!
3 months, 20 days ago
I do need to make sure I don't overwhelm myself, so perhaps just one slot at a time?? And the disclaimer would be super appreciated!! :D
I'm still tryna figure out prices for my art sooooo I dunno what to say to put the prices at, but I would be willing to do headshots/fullbodies/lineart or customs with a given moodboard, so hopefully that variety might get you a bit more help :D
If it does end up being too much I'll just finish whatever I've got queued from this and call it there, thank you for being so understanding!! /gen (also thank you for the compliment on my art shjdfjkhdskjshg that means a lot :3)
3 months, 20 days ago
Totally fine, either I could attempt to give price estimates (I did that with Evulow's art) based on time/effort taken, or I have it set so you do quotes yourself. I understand struggling to price stuff, i dealt with that for ages (a fullbody is not worth 400 deviantart points3)
3 months, 20 days ago
Oooh yes please! In that case I'll leave the pricing up to you. For reference, last time I timed myself I took about 7 hours for a shaded fullbody (like I said,,,slow worker c':) around 6 hours for unshaded fullbody, and 4.25 hours for just lineart. I don't have any timings for busts or headshots though, sorry about that D: I hope that's enough to help give an estimate?
Also wdym by doing quotes???
3 months, 19 days ago
that's plenty, i can work with it and I'll DM you prices before you approve if thats ok?
Quotes would mean like, you essentially determine the price yourself per requested piece

I can’t donate, but I have shared on here and some other sites!
And if you don’t mind, I might be able to sell some art & characters and get the buyers to send the money to you? And I can give you a bunch of designs you can sell!
3 months, 20 days ago
If you are willing to do that I would be very very grateful :,0!!! That offer is so nice, thank you! Just make sure you don't overwork yourself if you do that, and if you'd like to send me designs to sell feel free to send them with their prices in the name! :)

Koto was around $100 to purchase and i'd say my art added $50 or so; I'm very tent on them but i could possibly do a tradeback if it came down to it, but that wouldn't be now
