Life Update! Upcoming Art Auction!
4 years ago
Hey everyone! I know I havent posted new art in a few weeks, it's mostly bc I'm working on my commission queue anytime I get a moment to draw, but also...
A couple weeks ago my partner, Josh, had a massive couple of seizures and went to the hospital, but they could not pinpoint a cause. He'd never had a seizure before, so this is a new and scary situation! His mom is epileptic, so it's likely he may be diagnosed with epilepsy when we see a neurologist. He had another, smaller seizure on Wednesday night and finally got some medication, but now he is not allowed to drive until he has been seizure-free for 6 consecutive months or until he's cleared by a neurologist.
Since I'll be driving him to and from work for the foreseeable future, I'm no longer able to stay home and work on art on the weekend like I once could, but I'll be making adjustments to my own work schedule to accommodate soon!
That being said, Josh is definitely the breadwinner between us bc my disabilities make it difficult for me to stand for a long period of time, so the possibility of him suddenly being unable to work has made us both worry quite a bit. We haven't recovered financially from the pandemic, so there's not much left of our savings.
I'm considering an art auction to raise an emergency fund in case he has to take time off, money for uber when I can't give him a ride, and anything else he might need (tbh I'm not even gonna look at the hospital bill, I don't think I'll be able to raise THAT much money in my whole life. This would just be for basic needs and to make sure he has a safety net to facilitate recovery and wellness)
This auction will either be a YCH, an adopt, or an auction for physical art I have made (likely a painting), and y'all feel free to tell me which you'd prefer. The SB for any of these will be fairly high, but it's all I can do to help him financially for now.
You can also donate in the meantime!
If anyone also has Uber giftcards they're not using, please note me!
Also Josh's Twitch is Joshdpathfinder if you guys wanna pop by when he's streaming and say hi! He's having a really hard time with all of this and having someone to chat with while streaming tends to cheer him up! He mostly plays Overwatch and is a big Roadhog fan.
Thanks for taking the time to read this! I hope y'all have a wonderful day!

My big worry is that I'll somehow be unable to drive him somewhere and he'll drive himself even though it's not safe? As someone who is disabled and has been in a wheelchair before, losing even a little of your independence and not being able to do things you could before can be devastating. I'm 100% here for him, though! Doting boyfriend mode: engaged!
