Big Life Update
2 years ago
So you might notice my art basically completely stop some time over the next month
That's because I'm packing all my things again, only this time it's because I'll be moving into my car as a homeless person
It's a long-ish story, but basically there are literally no rentals on the market that I can afford on disability welfare AND that also meet my needs as a disabled person
I also have my un-registered service dog Yuki (who i had to live without for one year and it Fucked Me Up) and no rentals allow pets these days, finding my current one was literally a needle in a haystack
So I'm going to be renting the spare room mum has in her rental (she isn't allowed pets either) to store all my stuff and then me and Yuki will be transient
My plan is to save up for a van or something so we can have some more space if it looks like this will be long term, I currently have a Toyota Ractis 2005 which has a REALLY big boot for a standard car when the chairs are folded down so at least I'll be able to put a small mattress in there and sleep semi-comfortably
This possibility of car-living has been hanging over me the last few years as I saw my renting options quickly drying up in the market, so this wasn't exactly a blind-sighting for me, but it has still been pretty rough to process and accept
I have a lot of family and friends in my town so I will have access to safe places to park at night and facilities to bathe and do laundry etc
I'm not asking for donations or anything, but I'm also not too proud to accept any help people may wish to offer
my PayPal is heart[dot]sprout[dot]art[at]gmail dot com if anyone want's to send anything through
and also my patreon for my web series will remain active as I intend to try find ways to keep working on it while homeless. The room at mum's will juuusssttt have enough space for me to set up my PC, so I'm hoping I can get a friend to babysit Yuki maybe once or twice a week so I can go to mum's and work on faraway
Here's the patreon link: https://www.patreon.com/HeartSprout
Questions about all this are OK, I'm autistic so I have minimal filter about what I see as 'too personal' to talk about lmao, and if I do feel someone is being invasive accidentally I'm hardly going to be a dick about it lmao
OH also my final date at my current place will be 30th September, so I have all next month to sort my shit etc
