Pausing Patreon | State of affairs (Short Summary)

1- Covid
2- Pausing Patreon / Reassessing

1- Covid.
My aunt and grandma got it. My dad and I had to take care of them in our house and thus, we got it too.
As time passed: Aunt is intubated, at the hospital, her condition is still critical but stable so far.
EDIT: She didn't made it as well, Passed at March 9th
My grandma didn't make it. Passed away. (March 6th).
My dad and I had light damage from it (X-ray revealed) but we feel acceptably fine, seems we overcame.
As you may understand, this has taken a toll on my art production.
2- Making Patreon Private / Reassessing.
Workload accumulated too much on me due to unforeseen circumstances (as described above).
I will -TEMPORARILY- pause my Patreon for a minimum of 2 months.Then going back to let the workload flow.
This pause time won't be a break. Instead, it will serve to get up-to-date with what I already owe that accumulated for what was explained above. (And if I'm lucky, after I'm up to date, to work on personal projects).
Only if you can and want, you can donate to simply help me out, I would of course appreciate that!
I need to reassess my situation going forward:
I can't let work accumulate this much and thus, my Patreon tiers have been removed.
EDIT: After lots of thought I realized that I can receive a huge workload if I make my Patreon tiers open to everyone. Therefore, I must limit my patreon and make it private. This means that if you want to be my patron you must first contact me privately or when I invite you directly. With this I avoid the difficulty of having a huge workload that keeps piling up if I run into personal issues.
3- Final thoughts.
I appreciate people that follow me and care about me like I care about you lot <3.
Art is a luxury famously known to pay very little for the amount of work/hours and expertise gathered throughout the years put into it, but I still appreciate how my many dear friends still manage to appreciate what I do and support me one way or another to help my well-being on this venue of mine.
I am thankful for all of you, and thank you for understanding. I wish you all great health and happiness!
