Asking for a little help.
a year ago
I don't like to do this, but I'm having an unusually bad few weeks, so I'm asking for donations if you're able or what I'd prefer is subs so everyone wins. There are certainly people in more dire need of help than me, so please don't overdue it. Even single dollars would help, if all my followers contributed a single dollar, I'd hit my target 10 times over.
I'm sick. High fever, unspeakable headache. Been in bed for a couple of days. And I need to earn $800+ by the end of August to pay my various loans. Doable if I wasn't sick. But when it rains, it pours. I have $40 in savings because I've had to pay out for other emergencies recently and just have nothing left now.
My cat has been ill for almost two weeks. I've been hand feeding her daily. She needs to go to the vet but I can't afford it. I burned through 3k pet emergency money over the past few years, and I've got nothing left now. Had a sobbing meltdown the other day when I realized if I got too sick, she would probably die. Bf works 10 hour shifts, can't help much. Feeding her is challenging.
We didn't expect to have issues this month and spent money on our other cat's vet needs. We also took a 1600k mile cross country road trip to help some kittens. +$300 that I need to cover for gas. My family helped with this but not all of it. So now I can't ask for more help because they can't afford it.
There are other issues which have finally pushed me over the edge to asking for help, because usually I just take more commissions and deal with it. But our AC is out. It's 95F during the day, 75 is the low at night. We have one small AC we sleep with but our house is too hot. I can't use my render farm or work on 3D to earn money through that. Oh and I've got a 102f fever during this heat. I'm having heart palpitations from anxiety about the heat and the money. It's been miserable.
So if you have a spare $3 you'd like to chip in to help me get through this, it would mean the world to me. Once I get over being sick I should be okay, but I have too many huge deadlines hitting too soon and I'm just too sick to deal with them. The last time I was sick like this, it lasted 3 weeks and I'm afraid that will be the case again. But even if I was healthy tomorrow, I now no longer have the time to earn enough money quickly enough.

In addition to the donation, I can offer advice that may help with your AC issue, as someone who has worked on them for a few years now. These are two common issue I can think of off the top of my head that someone who is inexperienced could still safely and easily do themselves, but aren't guarantied to solve your issue, as there are a number of other possible causes you AC isn't working.
1. If the issue is that everything is running, but little to no cooling is happening, then taking a hose and washing out the coils on your outside condenser unit of all the built up dirt and leaves could solve the issue. This is actually a good thing to do once a year even if you AC is working normally as clean coils better transfer heat then dirty ones. (Note that if everything is running and the coils are clean, then this may be in an indication that you are low on Freon (frozen over pipes could be another indication), and will need a licensed person to charge your unit.
2. If the issue is that your condenser has power but nothing is running, a possible cause is your run capacitor may have gone bad. First make sure power is off to the condenser unit, then take the access panel off and visually inspect the run cap. If you notice that it looks like something has leaked out of it or it looks deformed in some way (typically the top and or bottom will look blown out or be ballooned) Then you know it's gone bad. It's also possible it's gone bad but won't show so visually, in that case you can check with a multimeter. You can buy a replacement run cap for pretty cheep online.
I can go into more detail if you want or answer questions, so feel free to note me.
