Please help - I'm in a very bad financial place and facing the possibility of being homeless.

[badbastion]

I hate asking for help and try to save it for times when I absolutely need it, and now is one of those times.

From my GoFundMe site: gofundme.com/w5wzd58

I'm in deep financial straits, and I have to ask for help or else I won't make it.

My cats recently got fleas, and when my boyfriend called his mom to ask for help getting them treated/treating our apartment, she decided to withdraw all financial help from us. She's been sending us $400-500 a month to help out with bills until my boyfriend gets disability (which *should* take about 4 more months, they say) but now that she's no longer willing to help, we don't have a way to pay the bills/treat the cats/buy groceries/pay for meds/continue staying in our apartment. We currently have $120 in our bank account.

Please help us. We don't have any local friends, and there's no room at my family's house - they're packed in. We're facing the very real prospect of being homeless. The amount I've stated should allow us to get flea treatment and cover bills for the next 4-5 months.

Thank you for reading.

Any amount will help, even just a few dollars. It adds up. If you don't want to do gofundme, you can paypal me a donation to badbastion@gmail.com.

I'm also offering commissions. $25 per character colored + $25 for a background, or $15 per character clean sketch plus $15 for background. I'll draw any fandom, any characters, any kinks.

If you can't help monetarily but still want to help, please consider spreading the word on LJ or twitter or tumblr.

Thank you so much for reading, and I'm sorry I'm coming to my journal with my hand held out once again. I'm also sorry if I'm coming across as short, but I'm just kind of in shock, and completely terrified.

I know how hard it is for you to ask for help, but I'm glad you feel able to do so - I hope you raise enough to see you through.
((((Hugs)))

Thank you so much, amber. Thank you. ((((hugs))))

I'm glad that you provided your paypal because I can't donate on Gofundme without a credit card, and I just can't take on any commissions myself because I'm really bad at delivering them...
The amount is small because I'm not making any money myself...
Stay strong, bb. I wish I could just give you the thing I use to treat my guinea pigs. Why don't I have super power? I don't know if a bath would help.
Hugs.

Yeah, I know a lot of people cant use gofundme, so I offered another option. Thank you so much. *hugs*

We tried giving them a bath, but they wont let us :(

I hope to god that you manage to raise the money, I can't financially help out right this minute, but I am boosting this in the hopes that we can get you some coverage! ♥♥♥

[badbastion.livejournal.com]

I totally understand - that's how I feel for the people who are in need right now. Thank you for boosting <3<3<3

[milly-gal.livejournal.com]

No worries honey I so hope you manage to get some help/relief from the stress of it all! ♥

[de-nugis.livejournal.com]

I've signal-boosted on Tumblr. I hope fandom can give you the boost you need.

[badbastion.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much, and I'l reply to your PM later, but thank you again. Can do, will do, in short :)

[sara-the-lazy.livejournal.com]

Oh man, that sucks. I'll spread the word when I'm at a computer (tonight or tomorrow morning) and I'll also give you the info on ACX I mentioned on y!. And I'll see what my own finances are like to see if I can spare a bit myself. Hang in there...

[badbastion.livejournal.com]

Thank you for spreadging the word, it really helps. <3

What an awful situation for you and your boyfriend to be in. I've been in financial difficulties myself in the past so i know how stressful and worrying it is, but always had family to help before it got too serious. Please don't feel bad about asking for help, we're all part of the SPN family and here for each other. Good luck with the fundraising.

[badbastion.livejournal.com]

It really sucks. I think a lot of people have to go through similar situations, which sucks worse. I can't help but feel bad, I want to give, not ask, you know?

Thank you, and thanks again <3

[jj1564.livejournal.com]

You're very welcome, it's always hard to ask for help but I'm pleased you did, and I hope you get what you need to keep your home.

[thursdaysisters.livejournal.com]

I'll take a character + background :-D

[badbastion.livejournal.com]

I'll email you :)

[ephermeralk.livejournal.com]

Hope you are able to pull through and get the help you need, bb.

I hope to be a little bit more able to help in a few months.

♥ ♥

[badbastion.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much <3

[fourtenpm.livejournal.com]

[badbastion.livejournal.com]

I got it, thank you so very much! *hugs* I'm trying to hang in there, thanks :)

[mickeym.livejournal.com]

I've boosted the signal. I can't do anything financially right now, but will be able to on the 1st.

I'm so sorry you're having to deal with this -- and I'm so angry with your boyfriend's mom for making a bad situation that much worse.

*hugs you lots*

[badbastion.livejournal.com]

I totally understand not being able to help finanacially, don't worry! Thank you very much for signal boosting <3

And I know, I'm so angry at her. She's not ever a pleasant person by any means, but she's just gone off the deep end with us now :(

*hugs*

[digitalwave]

Good luck, sweetie! I've signal boosted both at my lj and on wish_list. I really hope that it helps.

*hugs*

[badbastion.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! *hugs*

Do you have a place I can look at your work? I'd love to commission if your style fits what I'm looking for :D

Hugs. I hope you get what you need. (Found you via a signal boost)

[badbastion.livejournal.com]

Hi! Thanks for your interest! You can browse my art tag to see what kind of art I do (warning: almost all of it is NSFW and Wincest). If my style isn't for you, now worries. And if it is, I will let you know upfront that it could be months before I can finish a commission - I have a nice pile of them to work on right now.

Thanks so much! :)

Hey sweetie I have a pic in mind I would like you to draw. Would you like me to pm or email you the details?

[badbastion.livejournal.com]

Hi! You can email me at badbastion@gmail.com :) I do need to make it clear that I've got quite a pile of commissions on order now though, so it may take months for me to finish one now. I appreciate your interest! :)
