I don't like making last minute announcements like this, but my roommate just dropped on me that I need to have next months rent paid by December 23rd in full since we'll both be out of town for the holidays to pay it on the usual last-of-the-month.

That would be fine, except I do not have 750 extra dollars lying around, as I was planning to work/stream while staying with my boyfriend for christmas to keep up the pace.

Given that I still haven't been able to pay for my tickets to see him due to other financial bullshittery, it's looking like I won't be able to visit him at all if I do not find a way to raise enough money in time. By my calcuation, including my tickets, the rest of this month's rent (i'm paying off in-progress), next month's, I need to scrape together 1500 dollars by December 22nd, the day before I planned to leave (it breaks down to 750 for next month, 350 for this month, 200 for the bus tickets and 200 for emergency insurance in case I miss a ride or need food/etc on the trip. If I didn't have the sudden full-month rent drop, I could make what I need pretty easily thanks to my streams, but this is a lot and I'm panicking.

I am not asking for donations, rather to spread the word of my stream. To put it bluntly, I'll be leaving the stream live all week and working nonstop in an attempt to get as much as I can done. I'm still working to get other comms done too as well. I haven't been able to see him since August and due to our schedules likely will not have the chance to see him again for a while after this.

If you know anyone who might want to get some stream commissions done or want to grab one, my picarto is here:

I know I can do this, I just need to work hard for it. I just need a little Christmas spirit.
