Hard times... Help is appreciated. Please read and repost.

The following statement is TRUE.
Okay, where to begin with this one....
I suppose I should start be saying I'm NOT trying to be a charity case.
Though I probably should.
About six months back, my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer, diabetes, and high blood pressure all at once. She has since had a bilateral mastectomy. (both breast removed), and has multiple doctor's appointments almost daily. Needless to say, she cannot work.
During all this, I began to get shafted hard in numerous ways by the new boss at work. He had something against me, though I'll never know why. He even made racist remarks to other employees, who then told me. When I told the District manager, he went and told my boss. Yeah, that made things better. ANYWAY, I found a new job that promised more hours.
That was a lie. A big lie.
I went from making about 125 a week (bad) to less than that every two weeks (worse). And the manger ended up being demoted and transferred by a new DM the day after I left. Wonderful.
SO My mom can't work, and I can't even afford the gas to drive her to her appointments (I have about $400 of bills to pay on my own each month)
But that's not even the worst part.
My mom's boyfriend of over eight years decides now is the time to split, and does so on the 31st of October. Right when rent is due. On top of that, he also lied to the landlord and took several hundred dollars out of the previous months rent, which he told him was for car insurance. Funny thing is, we haven't had that in a long time due to money being so tight.
As of December, we were 2300 dollars in debt to the landlord alone.
A few good family members helped us out and arranged a fundraiser for my mom, getting us a little less than $1000 in the process. While this certainly helped, We were still in a hole. Our landlord has been extremely patient with us, but we're teetering dangerously close to the end of the month again.
I don't know what to do. I'm a full time student looking for a second job, and I'm not even sure if that will help. I don't want to be homeless again. I don't want that for my mom.
rankwolf has been here for us every step of the way, and I love him to death for it. I can seriously never repay him for his dedication to me. However, I still need help.
So I'm doing commissions.
Basically, I'll draw whatever you want. At this point I don't care. We need help, and I have to do something.
So here are the prices. I hate to even charge people for my work ever, but this is a pretty bad situation.
15 dollars for something like this:

10 for something like this:

5 for something like this:

If you want to donate as well, I appreciate it. I can work with everyone on things like multiple characters and BGs.
PM me for my paypal info.
If you don't want a commission or if you don't want to donate, YOU CAN STILL HELP!
Please, just repost this on your page as a journal or something, so that others can read it. Every little bit counts. You'll be doing me and my mom a huge favor. I don't want her to suffer any more than she has already.
Thank you everyone for reading this.

OP
despite how angry I am, I know that karma will get the best of him. He's hurt us for sure, but it will come back tenfold.

Well, I could do with a new picture of one of my characters for $5. It would be the unusual ball stretching fetish though, or at least tannim with a very long scrotum.
