Why I'm Running the Growth Fundraiser...
10 years ago
General
Good morning, everyone!
When I posted the growth drive, there are a few things I left out. I chose to be a lot more vague about why I needed the money than I could have. I was hesitant to post details because I felt slightly embarrassed to be running a fundraiser at all. I tend to prefer to earn money than ask for it, though I considered a growth drive to be a bit of both, since I WILL be doing drawings as part of it.
The reason I decided to hold the drive is that I recently found out that I'm going to be have a major dental surgery in 3-4 months that for reasons I won't go into my insurance won't cover. According to my oral surgeon, it's going to be at the minimum $7000 out of my pocket. While they'll set up a payment plan for me, I really want to save up as much money as possible beforehand so the weight of the payments isn't as bad. Hence the growth drive. There will also likely be an increase in commission slots, pack releases, and I'm working on a new format for my Patreon to make it better for everyone involved. Every dollar I earn from these things will be going straight into my surgery fund.
The second bit of information I left out was unintentional, I just forgot to include it. The milestones are every $100 donated. At every $100 mark, I'll be drawing at least one two character picture of Jelli and whoever the top donor is in that $100 chunk. These will be full color, shaded pictures. If you donate over $50 total, you can have me draw Jelli, at her current level of fatness, in whatever outfit you decide. Anything goes. Bikini? Maid outfit? Gothic lolita? Nude? Whatever you want.
I'll be adding this info to the fundraiser submission itself. Thanks again everyone, for all of your kindness and support! <3

No such thing as too many! I make sure I take good care of my teef. I've actually never had a cavity! This is just all obnoxious genetic stuff I could do nothing to prevent. :(

that is awful to hear that you need oral surgery ;v; i had to have one of my teeth replaced because of a bad filling and it took forever to get done since it was in two parts

That's where I'm at, but I need to get two of my teeth replaced. I already had the first part done, which my insurance covered, but I'm on my own for the second. :/
