Hello everyone, good morning, afternoon or evening, generally I do not do this type of journals. I have always been neutral and I am more about supporting the people around me with their problems as best I can and within my own capabilities, but unfortunately I arrived the day that I myself am the one who has to ask for help, as everyone knows I am from Mexico and recently a grade 5 hurricane hit this state which unfortunately is where I currently live, the hurricane called "OTIS" had no mercy on me or with other people in this state.

I'm fine, I'm alive, a few scratches and wounds that were already treated at the local red cross, the wounds were caused by broken glass that was thrown by the force of the air towards me and my family, a large piece of glass was removed from me my shoulder that got stuck due to that situation, as I said before, I'm fine within what fits in this situation.

Unfortunately I cannot say the same about my house, the damage is very extensive, most of it is water damage, material loss of some things that I had there, I do not have water since my water reserve tank was torn from my roof with force. I fell to the ground completely broken, there is no electricity either because the strong air currents damaged several poles and electrical wiring in the surroundings, there are too many things that I cannot even explain at this moment, I am cut off from the world, I had a moment of Send my usernames and passwords to close friends so that they could help me write this text that they are reading and know about me, since I left more than two weeks ago without knowing what awaited me.

As I say, I am alive, my family is fine but I need your help in this moment of crisis that I am experiencing right now, I have food and I have water thanks to the fact that the government gave us some supplies with food, not before you to endure the catastrophe a little, I don't know. When I really come back, the situations here are not stable yet and I have no idea if something like this could happen again.

Therefore, today I ask for your help from your acquaintances, friends and people in the community to get out of this dark moment that I am going through. I do not have a specific goal but any help, no matter how much or little, is welcome and will be used to the reconstruction of my home and for any medical expense or emergency that may arise along the way, as I repeat I do not usually do this but circumstances force me to ask for help, even the strongest ends up on their knees in the face of adversity.

Unfortunately, given the situations mentioned above, any commission, gift or pending drawing that I have with someone will be stopped until further notice. Obviously, they will not be canceled as soon as I can return to normal and can return to work. I will do my best to finish the pending orders that I have. I would like to thank any of you in advance for your preference and patience. I deeply apologize for this inconvenience and I hope to be able to return to art as soon as possible.

Things have been hard. I'm scared. I think the impression of the whole moment has made me see things differently, which is good and bad at a certain point. At the moment I have nothing more to say. I wholeheartedly appreciate any help you can give. Can you send me, I would really appreciate it if you can send this journal to more people to spread the word so that this is not lost.

Donations can be made to my official PayPal account:

I will not be able to respond to messages at the moment due to the unstable situations with the internet, but:

They will be aware of any messages you may send me, in the same way you can send messages to me personally but I don't know when I will be able to respond to them.

Thank you all very much for reading this message and I hope that my life can return to normal soon, I will be here and will try to update this journal through my close friends who are the ones who are helping me write this at the moment.

Take care of yourselves and I hope to see you soon.
