Hello everyone ,

As you know, I've been wanting to deal with my workload and commission queue, but the world just doesn't want to let up. I hate to ask yet again, but I've hit a point where I need help.

For fear of getting into too much graphic detail, this year started off with some pretty bad hemorrhoids. I've started to medically treat it but it continued to worsen. Following this, I managed to get a flu last week. Now my temperature is around 37.5 C / 100 F and there is a possibility of infection that will require medical intervention. The good news is the medical operation is already scheduled for tomorrow. The bad news is my finances are strained. I can cover the operation by maxing out my credit funds and using all of my savings. That's it, nothing left. Won't even have funds for food.

All told, the medical procedure will cost about $1k USD between the procedure itself and follow ups. I'll also need at least $100 USD for food for the month, not mentioning rent, power, and other general day to day expenses.

All this combined has left me in a state of despair, and I don't know what to do. Out of my family, I'm the only one able to work for any kind of income with everything going on, and between this and my current queue, any other commission work will have a wait time of at least a year.

I don't want to ask for a hand out, but any support people can offer would be appreciated. You can chip in over on Patreon ( https://www.patreon.com/FelanGrey ) or send funds directly via PayPal ( felan-grey[at]ukr.net ).

As always, thank you for your continued support, both emotionally and financially. You all keep me going.

Operation was successful. And I'm finally home. Good that I've decide to do it now, problem was bigger than we thought at first. Now it will be a long road to be healthy.
Thanks for all suppor you give me. And we made a half of needed money to not get drawn in credits hole!

Yesterday I had a checkup. All is fine but recovery will take min 3 weeks. And now, I'm finally have normal temperature \o/
Only after operaion medicine is more expensive than I was thought. For 1,5 week I've spend ~110$.
And thanks to you I had enough to get it 🧡

Today I was wanted to start with good news, but an arrival of a rocket in my city (Kyiv) leave me without electricity for almost all day. At least now I have it back.
The good news is that we collected needed money and even more \o/

Thanks to you, I can recover without unnecessary stress due to lack of funds. 🧡
