People have been coming out of the woodwork in order to assist on this problem. You guys have no idea how grateful I am/have been throughout the entire situation. the issue that comes up next is that even if I did get everything in my paypal, I'm stuck on a limit switch ($500) due to the fact that my account is still pretty much verified for basic. this means that by the time I get it, I still have to find a way to secure an additional $500 by the time I get the funds anyway.

About that, I am very close to hitting that Paypal cap thanks to the donations from friends and influences. Again, I've been more than grateful of the help and I'll be carrying forward with two projects. Again, all I will need are names as well as characters and faces attached to them. I still have a list of commissions ahead of the project, so I'll likely be working on the project bit by bit over the course of the remaining two months (two projects, one for November, and the other for December).

We've tried, but the VA/DAV are completely useless which is what we had feared in the first place. The renters will not even take a half payment in agreement of paying the other half later. I've never heard of an outfit that does this but last I checked, by law they have to accept it. I'll try again to get them to accept it and if not, I will likely have to lawyer up. As is, I always start by gathering information. First and foremost, I'd be an idiot if I didn't ask questions.

Edit: Followup, of course is that I've gotten a few items I need to try and borrow a little extra. I hate payday loans because they're difficult to get out of, especially in my father's case. I practically have no alternative now.
