Hello all,
I was rear-ended in a car accident requiring a visit to the ER.
The collision shop is reporting frame damage, which likely means the car will be deemed a total loss due to the cost to repair vs. the car's value due to its age. It's my hope at this time that the other party's insurance will cover the cost in either event.
However, I received the bill from the hospital this morning, and insurance is currently covering $0.
This is unusual, since my plan is supposed to have a deductible & I'll dispute the charge, but I must prepare for the worst case scenario where I have to pay the full $2,097.
And to top it all off, last night while I was streaming content with friends on Discord, a bad actor infiltrated my file server and inflicted a ransomware attack. Not sure how, since auto-updates are off and all default accounts & remote services were disabled.
Nonetheless, they are holding my files at ransom for ~$250 USD. Some of my files contain sensitive personal data (such as medical or financial documents with my SSN) in addition to copies of my art stuff.
(If you want to view the ransom note yourself, I uploaded it here: https://pastebin.com/XNUKV3MV )
As a result of this hurricane of issues,
I will have to liquidate some assets (physical and digital) to mitigate the losses.
Expect some of my furry OCs to be put up for auction in the upcoming days.
I've never been one for asking for donations, especially when I don't have any products to give in return.
I don't ever wish to burden others than necessary.
But if you wish to donate and have the funds to do so, I appreciate as much support I can get.

Thanks for taking the time to read this far.
After so many years here and in the fandom at large, I never imagined that I would one day be in such a dire financial strait as right now...
