Some transparency on my Iron Inktober project
2 years ago
Commissions are OPEN
If you are interested in commissioning me, come drop me a line! Let's see what we can make together! https://forms.gle/D5NqAnUiUnHSVsVV9 So the reason I'm doing this Iron Inktober thing is twofold: firstly, I wanted to do it. It's a challenge. My plan was already to do Inktober long before Things Happened™ in Virginia.
Secondly, I'm doing it to make sure I can afford the down payment on a place and get myself out of an abusive and toxic house. I've been living with my sister since March of this year, and last month I got into an extreme argument with her because she decided to express some very transphobic views to me. She tried to dress it up like a conversation but turned it into an argument, eventually ending in her, for several days in a row, screaming in my face to get out and that I'm worth less than an animal because I don't share her views. She couldn't legally evict me on the spot and actually amended the rental contract so that she would be able to do so with only 24 hours notice starting on October 1st. For over a week, I was so stressed and afraid to leave my room that I barely ate or drank anything and lost over 10lbs, until I basically emptied my bank account flying out to a friend's house. I'm currently living in Seattle to save up money for whatever place I end up getting, which is reliant upon being able to do a commission every day that I'm here.
I didn't want to set up any kind of GoFundMe for this, because I just did one earlier this year to get to Virginia in the first place and I was honestly scared to say "hey I know I just did this but here's another moving fund, can ya help me out?", and I didn't think that would be fair to the people who helped me out before.
So that's why I'm doing this. I need to get out and get my own space, and it needs to happen now. On top of my own safety, my cat is currently being cared for by someone else, but only until the end of November, at which point the person caring for him is going to consider him abandoned and put him in a shelter, and I need to make sure that I have a safe place to live before then.
If you want to help me out but don't want to commission me, you can donate to PayPal.me/Kraest, or to $Kraest via Cash App.
