Thanks to all of you who donated, I have reached my goal and, I"m happy to report, I paid my rent this morning! I also have almost enough to pay NEXT MONTH'S rent too!

I am so incredibly grateful to all of you who donated, shared and rallied for me. I am a lucky one, for sure.

SO, MUCH. GRATITUDE.

More Info

Hi all - it is incredibly challenging for me to ask for this kind of help, but I have reached a tipping point - I am in danger of losing my apartment. I have been out of work since the end of July. I ended up with another infection in my left leg that put me a little behind on getting a job - I've been under an enormous amount of stress over the last few months, and it's starting to take its toll. Asking for help is a last resort for sure. I receive unemployment, but it's no where near enough to pay my bills. Also, I have been without health insurance since the beginning of August - the state has been completely backlogged this past month, so I have not received any food benefits or health insurance. I'm at the mercy of the State for those things. 

I have to keep hope that I will find work and be able to get my life on track again, but I am paralyzed by the situation I am in. If there is any way you can help - even with a small donation, I can tell you that I would mean the world to Lilly and me. I will make a run of limited-edition prints for the contributors of this campaign to show my deepest gratitude for your help. Thank you in advance from the bottom of my heart.
