The Russian military's missile attacks on Ukraine's civilian electricity infrastructure over the last couple of months has led to many of the digital artists who are living in Ukraine to be unable to work normally due to only having electricity a few hours a day. Some artists already have equipment that allows them to work in these conditions, such as a tablet and a battery power bank or three, but others are desperately trying to adapt to having only intermittent electricity for a few hours a day for multiple days or weeks.

These people need help now:

^{<updated 24 Jan... today the 🇷🇺invasion is 11 months old>}

Here are a few 🇺🇦Ukrainian🇺🇦 artists that are trying to collect donations or commissions (for tablets, power banks, or generators) and could use any assistance that they can get, even a 'boost' by making an artwork or Journal with a link to their request would be a big help... don't let the large amounts intimidate you, see the 'complete/success' section below, we can do it together!

Trying to collect larger amounts:

 nesteaisnasty [499 watchers; fled Kharkiv to western Ukraine] -- https://www.furaffinity.net/journal...../#jid:10406937 -- "saving up for a portable power station. 270$ 524$ 731$ 806$ 896$ $950 out of $1200" 🔋 ⚡🌞<--- over three-quarters of goal <--- only $250 to go for her goal!!, still needs help as of 24 Jan, see update, may need solar panels or a generator <-- if 4 3 2 1 people make new donations (even just $5) I will make another donation myself (count started 28Dec)

 Dogava [W:311; in western Ukraine] -- https://www.furaffinity.net/journal...../#cid:59682266 & https://www.furaffinity.net/journal...../#jid:10451624 -- Wants a power bank to recharge her iPad to keep working during longer blackouts (takes commissions) 🔋 <-- NEEDS $330 [collected $33/$330 as of 19 Jan] <-- 10% of goal, so far <-- if 4 people make donations I will make another donation myself (count started 24Jan)

 Veelzevul1 [224 watchers; in Kyiv] -- https://www.furaffinity.net/journal...../#jid:10399045 & update & update2 & update3 & update 4 ... update 6 -- "I can work with such a set for about 3 days! Collected 0$ 21$ 171$ 221.13$ 286.13$ 306.13$ of $305(1425$USD)" 🍎 <--- now has enough for battery bank(s) & fast charger, still collecting for router & antenna plus an iPad and pencil ~$1220 -- Collected 95$ 115$ 261$ 342$ of 1120$USD <-- one-third of the way to the ultimate goal!

 Hagalazka [837 watchers; in southern Ukraine] -- https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10459761/ -- Power cuts: support needed "My entire job is connected to PC, meaning it's very important for me not to loose touch with it for such a long while... around $700 are still left to collect." 💻 [added 5 Feb 2023]

 Nerior [7143 watchers; in western Ukraine] -- https://www.furaffinity.net/journal...../#jid:10420439 & Patreon -- "I have problems with electricity and it completely destroys my mental state, impossible to work in such conditions. I gave up on buying a notebook and ecoflow, its a huge amount of money" 🪫 <--- Nerior is having a LOT of trouble working/focusing due to the interruption of continual unplanned blackouts and has not asked for help yet... but I think he needs some assistance so I added him to the list (he is interested in a solar/battery system) 🔋🌞 Collected none some of "a huge amount".

 Viskasunya [8654 watchers; in Odesa] -- https://www.furaffinity.net/view/50620936/ "Now I only have light for 3 hours a day." <--- Viskasunya is having trouble working/focusing (see 1 - 2 - 3 - 4) and has not asked for help to buy a battery power station or generator yet... but I think she needs some assistance (and encouragement/moral support) so I added her to the list -- she would like to have some more people on her Patreon (she currently has 24 patrons - $172 per month, as of 24 Jan)


Smaller or Less Urgent needs:
☐ Bisamon [W:1020; in western Ukraine] -- https://www.furaffinity.net/user/bisamon/ -- see her FA Profile page, "due to the fact that the russian missiles are hit by the power supply, my lights go off every 2 hours for 2 hours. because of this my work may be delayed. sorry for the wait!" (has a Patreon)
☐ Free-Opium [W:5855; in central Ukraine] -- "I am taking orders for sketches to buy ipad... not an emergency order, but it will be very helpful" 🍎
☐ Aorumi [W:2335; in western Ukraine] -- "Half of my work time is lost and some days, I can't work at all... It's bad, but not as bad as it can be, at least for now." <-- she is doing collaborations with other Ukrainian artists
☐ IvanZulyevich [W:124; in western Ukraine] -- https://www.furaffinity.net/view/49849824/ "Unfortunately, I cannot work without electricity, and life is also very inconvenient. I am starting a fundraiser to help me and my mother leave Ukraine and find a safe place to live in another country." ✈
☐ GhostlyDog -- https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10450537/ "Today I had, attention, 2 hours of electricity! Planned power outages, then emergency power outages, and then emergency shutdowns (accidents at electrical substations?)! Yes, such is life after the shelling... only after all this I can start thinking about STARTING SAVING MONEY for an iPad (~$380? minimum)." 🍎
☐ andr0meda [W:667; in Kyiv] -- https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10417715/ & update -- "I have the first power bank which was given to me, but it would be good to take another power bank. Usams US-CD165 PB59 30000mah Laptop/Smartphone/Tablet Power Bank Price: 3999.20 UAH (without discount 4999 UAH) ~ 108-135$" 🔋 <-- ONLY NEEDS $135 [0/$135 as of 17 Jan], but also collecting money for cat food 🐈🐈


Ongoing need for fuel:
_{-- For these Ukrainians who bought generators that run on fuel, there is a continuing need for money to buy fuel (~$2USD will buy an hour of fuel)}
○ Almatea -- https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10409451/ -- "I finally got my generator. Now my life will be a little better. but, I need a lot of money for fuel."
○ SteppeCrow -- "I bought a generator but I also need money for gas (I take commissions to buy it)"


May need some encouragement/moral support: (or commissions)
Nerior , Viskasunya , Almatea , FelanGrey , ~RIZONIK~ , UNKNOWHITER , LiaItsuki , and lots and lots of others


_{Also please see my longer list(s) of Ukrainians who have asked for aid/help recently (in Nov and Dec of 2022 & in 2023) where you will find some people who only need small donations or perhaps a commission -- https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10383321/ & https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10439303/ <--- please go look here, lots of links

✓ Stechow -- https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10409450/ -- "So instead of working full-time I can only work 2-4 hours a day. Now I'm raising money to buy a portable power station." See Patreon for status (currently 34% 42%) & Free YCH! 🔋
✓ Veelzevul1 -- https://www.furaffinity.net/journal...../#jid:10399045 -- "I can work with such a set for about 3 days! Collected 0$ 21$ 171$ 221.13$ 286.13$ 306.13$" 🔋 <-- partial success! now has enough for battery bank, fast charger, router & antenna (probably), but still collecting for an iPad and pencil

Sometimes it runs only 3 hours, sometimes 6 or a bit more, but then I must wait until it turns on. It can be around 3-6 hours too, or more... A couple of times I waited around 3-4 days until I can finally work. (Ty Russia, ty for this stupid war). So I need something that I can use even when there is no power. And I found it, about 200 USD is needed for Samsung Galaxy Tab S6. It has big enough accumulator, fast charge and stilus for drawing." 💻}

Alternatively... here are some Ukrainian artists offering traditional (pencil/pen/marker/paint/bead) commissions while the electricity is off:
 YunnyLynx -- https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10412381/ -- Traditional comms - [4/5] Open!
 CathyNoire -- examples: abstract background , full background , latest. (also see her art raffle: link)
 Carota17 -- https://www.furaffinity.net/view/50334538/ -- Bead Tapestry Commission (also see her Etsy: link)
 FelanGrey -- https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10404285/


_{Individual artist's situations vary a lot. There is a significant difference between someone with 1000+ Watchers who makes all their money doing commissions, uses a desktop computer and lives in a rural area, and someone with a few Watchers who uses a tablet or laptop computer and lives in a big city that has "Invincibility Points" nearby. Individual artist's solutions to working during the blackouts or working around the blackouts may vary a lot. Some only want warm words of support or extra patience from their commissioners, while others may need a fuel-using generator or large battery system.}
