How are you guys? Today, Thursday, October 16th, I'll be streaming all day on Picarto, finishing up orders and taking on other urgent ones, since tomorrow my youngest daughter has a school trip and I have to reach the amount (don't laugh at the amount xP) of 30 USD... You might be wondering "how can you not reach that amount?" Right now, I'm at 0 USD, racing against the clock, finishing up 15 commissions for the game Furry Chronicles. Yeah, I'd rather not think about these moments. Any commissions you'd like, feel free to contact me via PM or Discord: kumikobunny

Thank you for sharing and all the support, I love you!

How are you guys? Today, Friday On October 3rd and Saturday, October 4th, the commission will be $15 per hour. The reason? I need to raise funds quickly since my daughter's 14th birthday is on Sunday, October 5th. I want to at least throw her a small party with a gift, a cake and lots of family love to congratulate her for the effort she has made at school and for what a good girl she is ^^ If you want to contact me because you have any design ideas, you can contact me on discord: KumikoBunny by email kumikobunny95@gmail.com.I'd appreciate it if you could share this post, as it's very important to me. Thanks, guys ❤️

Hey guys! Here again with another journal. I wanted to let you know that I'm more active, so I'm starting to take commissions all September. I also want to mention that most of those commissions will be used not only for rent and other expenses, but also to save up for October 5th, which is my oldest daughter's 14th birthday. Any commission requests are more than welcome. I'm still streaming and at the same hourly rate of $20 per hour n_n.
Thank you all for your help, collaboration, and support, not just financial, but also for every word of encouragement on Discord, in the PM, and when you share the journals on your social media for more views. A huge thank you to all of you n_n

Kisses 💗

How are you guys? I honestly didn't feel like updating my status right now, because if I had to summarize, 2025 so far this year, except for my daughters and the support of all of you, I don't know what I would do.
I've been away these past two months mainly (especially the last month) for legal reasons. I've decided to claim child support for my little ones, since both my parents and I are doing our part. I also don't want to depend too much on my parents, since they're very old and have their own health issues.
This whole legal issue has truly exhausted me—mentally, physically, absolutely depressed me. I've even had to put aside commissions (which, as you know, I deeply appreciate your trust in me and in my work, and I want you to know from the bottom of my heart, your confidence always encourages me) to take on temporary part-time jobs to cover the costs of lawyers, certificates, paperwork, etc., etc., etc.
A few weeks ago, we couldn't reach an agreement. The most ironic thing is that we proved everything with paperwork and certificates, the girls' living expenses, and so on. When the other party was asked for proof of what they were saying, they had none, and when asked how much they earned per month, they "gave a figure" without providing any proof, and the judge accepted it as a given.
The most "tragic/comical" thing about this whole process is that it was my lawyer, the lawyer for the father of my daughters, and a lawyer (in Uruguay it's done this way, I don't know if it's the same procedure in other countries) who is granted by the state on behalf of, in this case, the minors. They all agreed with what I had proposed; strangely, the judge didn't take it into consideration. The resolution? Visitation once a week for two hours and the minimum child support amount declared by the other party. Can I appeal? Yes, I can! Can I claim the almost 12 years that he hasn't contributed? Yes, I can! Can I request more presence so there is a father/daughter bond? Of course!
But answering each part, appealing means more money for lawyers, more mental exhaustion, more arguments, more energy, and frustration that arises, and so far, I don't want that for myself. Why wasn't the year-long absence of contributions discussed? It was discussed in court, but the judge practically dismissed it. Can I request more visitation time? Is my intention to avoid the relationship? That's what I've been trying to do from the start, but wouldn't forcing someone to be present be forcing someone to love? Is that possible? In fact, when I started living in Argentina, when my girls were very young, he almost automatically signed the authorization without asking me for anything. I hope the two-hour Saturday visitation might make him reconsider; I honestly don't know.
Leaving the trial and all that aside, this has personally knocked me down. Add to that some rent and bill issues. Honestly, I haven't wanted to talk to anyone, I haven't wanted to get out of bed, nothing. But a few days ago, Bludgeon got me out of my "cave," and we've talked a lot. I'm allowing myself to go through this (shitty, pardon the language) process of being sad, of being angry, of sometimes just wanting to take refuge in my little ones, be with them, and forget about everything. But I know I can't be like this forever.
I hate doing this kind of Reddit-style rant because, honestly, I find it hard to talk about these personal things that happen to me. I hope this ends; that's all I hope for. I don't know what to say. For now, I'm trying to get better and will gradually resume commissions. Now I'm finishing up the commissions I owe. I want to thank the people who have supported me from the first moment I created my account and fursona, who have always trusted me, Growthguru BewareTheDragon TheRevenge Hated Karmandel and please excuse me if I've forgotten anyone else. I'm not feeling my best at the time of writing this journal.
That's it for now. Right now, I'm finishing up the commissions I owe, taking on other projects, and focusing as much as I can on drawing.

Please excuse me if there are parts of this journal that aren't clear, since English isn't my native language. Thank you so much if you took the time to read it, and if you have any questions, feel free to ask, and I'll answer them.

Kisses

How are you guys? Here again, I want to let you know that today, starting at 5 PM (Argentina time), I'll be starting my stream. I'll be finishing up commission orders and taking requests since at this point in the month the pantry is practically empty. xP I would greatly appreciate your collaboration, whether it's requesting commissions or sharing this post. Remember that I do commissions via stream, for a faster stream, and they're $20 per hour. Thank you all so much for supporting my work and the rather tense situation I'm going through. I love you ^3^

How are you all? I wanted to post this journal to update me on my current status, what's happened (briefly), and basically give some "signs of life." I've been in a severe depression lately, It's hard for me to talk about the subject, I'll try to summarize... I've had legal problems, nothing serious, it's been the claim for support from my daughters and legal issues regarding it. Temporary jobs for Paying their fees, endless family disputes, and now the possibility that one of my cats (the 6-year-old one) doesn't just have a kidney infection, but something more. This has caused me to delay commissions already paid, mainly for the game Furry Chronicles and some more friends who have always supported me, to all of them I want to say thank you and no I'm going to let you down. I'm going to finish your commissions. I apologize for isolating myself, but I needed some time because it wasn't right for me, or my girls, or anyone else. Little by little I'm recovering. Another idea I've been putting off is taking medication for depression, which I don't like, but I don't want to succumb to another crisis. Because of my situation and being the sole breadwinner, I can't "afford" to get depressed. For now, I'll take it one step at a time. It's hard, but I'll do it. Thank you for your constant support, really, my little family, and that's what motivates me not to fall. Thank you and I love you ❤️

How are you all? Here again with another urgent journal. I'm missing a few commissions to complete the rental where I'm currently at. I hope to complete it by today's deadline and be able to submit tomorrow. I only have 6 commission hours left to complete, so I'm here to let you know that this month my commission hour is $20. I'm doing my live streams at https://picarto.tv/Kumiko95/
If you are interested in hiring me for your commission, you can send me a DM either on the page or contact me on Discord: kumikobunny or through Picarto.
In case you can't (or don't want) a commission, sharing the link of this journal so that it reaches more people is very useful to me n_n

Thank you all

see yaaa!!!

How are you guys? The reason for this journal is to give an update on my situation so far. Well, it hasn't been easy adapting from one country to another, especially for my little ones, but with the help of their new psychologist, their regular therapists, and my perseverance, they're slowly getting through it. It's not easy, since sometimes they miss it, and that's normal, but I try not to let that affect their mood.
I'm still looking for work. I've done some informal work, but I'm still hoping for a company to call me. My youngest daughter's birthday is also coming up on the 12th, and I want to celebrate it for her to cheer her up a little more. So, the reason for my journal is partly to let you know that the commission hour is $15 (I had to readjust since both PayPal and my usual card charge me $7 per transaction. Basically, I'm working for $8 per hour, commission :/).
I would appreciate all your support, if I could replicate this journal so that it reaches more users, etc. I always appreciate all the support, I've made good friends on this site and your support has been the best part of all this. I want to remind you (before I forget to mention it xD) that you can contact me on Discord: kumikobunny or send me a PM through the site. All May I will be streaming on Picarto.tv every day through my username, too https://picarto.tv/Kumiko95/
Thanks guys, see you on the streams n.n

See you!!!

How are you, FA community? I need your help again. I've been settled in Uruguay for a few days now (I moved to find a job and for family support, and honestly, I didn't have any family in Buenos Aires who could help me since they were all in Uruguay). It just so happens that card transfers by region take forever to be authorized, so I still don't have the funds I had, and Pagomundo (due to OF's "fees") has had issues specifically with the card I used. In short, right now I don't have the money for food or the medication my daughters usually take for their autism.
My parents have contributed, but they spent a large portion of their funds on the move, and I can't leave them without enough money to eat and live. That's why I'm turning to you again, with commissions of $10 per hour. Today I'll be streaming for part of the day, and the funds will be used for precisely that. My main concern right now is my daughters' medication, as they can't go a day without it. Obviously, food is important too. At least until I can resolve the card issue. The only thing I've been able to do so far is get another debit card from a local bank and link it to PayPal. So, for now, please don't send me anything through Ko Fi, as I directly used my other card (the one I have the funds on).
It's a mess of cards and things I have to attend to, which I'm trying to sort out as best I can.
I apologize if this diary isn't very clear. Obviously, English isn't my native language, and I don't speak it fluently yet. Many things may be poorly expressed. I ask for your patience (and also because I'm very nervous about all the changes and setbacks).

Thanks for reed me 💗

I'm leaving my Picarto account because today, April 8, 2025, I'll be streaming all day.

As you know, my Nickname is Kumiko. I live in Argentina and I was recently forced to leave my job because after Covid I developed chronic asthma. For my family and me it was devastating, I always dedicated myself to jobs that required strength and this really made my spirits decline. Some days are worse than others, but most days it coincides with my shortness of breath with any effort. Likewise, this is not going to make me decline, even if the days are difficult, for my family and I we will get ahead. Discovering my role as a cartoonist again revives me, it really does, so here I am trying it one more time. I would also appreciate your help for any commission. Thanks for reading me.
