$390/$900

Still struggling. Feels like I can't win. But I'm hoping that I can get more help.

Student loans are square for now, car payments are biggest concern. Can't lose my car...

Please. Share this link. I need visibility.

Posted this also on my other account.

So I managed to secure an extension from the bank holding my car loan. Rolls the past due payments back into the loan and extends the loan period by 2 months.

So I had to pay $336 this week to lock that in. However that payment along with a couple other bills taking out, put me back in the hole by -$386 as of now.

I'm worried this will result in the bank bouncing the payment and undoing my extension agreement, and once more putting me at risk of losing my car.

So if anyone is in a position to help me out, I could really use it.

Please. I am so close to resolving this right now, I can't risk it failing.

As requested by my previous journal, I am desperately seeking assistance in raising $5900 for dental needs.

The current next step in the procedures are impressions and the actual bridge piece that will need to be made in order for me to have teeth again.

At present, thanks to kind donations, I have received $163 towards this goal amount. The immediate time limit had been removed, as I was forced to reschedule.

But the need of help remains.

Please consider if you're able.

Ok friends, I'm against a wall.

I need $5900 in less than 24 hours, or the last year of dental prep is at risk of going to waste.

In September of 2020, I had my upper teeth pulled due to several being broken off and beyond saving. Now after 2 sinus augmentation surgeries, and the implants being fitted, I am about to have the bridge made so I can finally have my teeth again after nearly 4 years.

I need help. I've gone for loans, I've tried saving funds, but with all of my recent hardships I'm literally against a wall.

If you can, I need donations. Any delay in this puts the stability of the implants at risk as they are currently unsupported. Which would make the $17k already invested in this procedure meaningless.

Please. I'm highly stressed right now, and panicking. I need your help. I hate needing to ask, but I need the help of my fellow furries.

Please...

Please, if you are able to help. My family and I need your help in rebuilding our depleted savings if we want to maintain a stable home for our kids. The last several months have been a very difficult time with one thing after another taking bites out of our reserves.

I know we're not alone in dealing with hardship. But everyday I worry about the continued stability of our home.

I don't like asking for this much help. But I have looked at every option that is available and can't find another path. These difficulties have set bills behind by at least a month, and the resulting missed payments have dragged my credit down, preventing me from qualifying for even a small loan to help rebuild.

So please, if you can afford to help even a little I ask that you consider it. If not, please share this journal, the previous journal, or even the link directly to the GoFundMe wherever you can.

Thank you.

Please help if you can

Hello friends.

I'm making this post to share a GoFundMe page that I set up, seeking assistance in rebuilding my family's savings after several hard financial hits over the last several months.

After needing to replace our car, covering bills after reduced work hours, medical/dental costs, and a few other unforeseen expenses, our savings has been reduced to almost nothing.

And as I mention on the fundraiser page itself, we are looking into our needs of a new home. As our current living situation is facing a major upset, and I do not wish to force my 2 children into a difficult transition.

Any donations would be extremely helpful, and appreciated more than words can express. But if, like me, you are facing similar circumstances, sharing the link and helping it to gain visibility will also be very helpful.

Thank you.

For about the last 3 years, I have been living without my upper teeth. After that length of time I am finally on the verge of getting implants, so I can eat, talk normally, and feel myself again. This will cost me about $10k. Up until the last few months, I'd had the money tucked away in my savings, waiting.

However, I had to replace my car about 3 months ago, and due to my credit rating I had to put a $5000 down payment to be approved. Naturally, that took a serious bite from my savings. Since then other bills, grocery needs, and other family needs have chopped down the remainder to almost nothing. Now my work has been cutting back hours because we havent been getting as many orders (manuufacturing job) and I'm down to a 32 hour week. Which isn't helpful at all.

Now, I am scheduled for the final scan before the implants for September 6th, and have nowhere near what I need for this any longer. It's been 3 years, I can't put this off any longer.

So I'm doing the one thing I absolutely hate doing, but I need help. I know I'm in no position to ask for donations, but I have no other options.

Family can't help. Credit following car loan won't let me get approved, and even if they wanted to, I can't use my new car as collateral because it is my family's only car. Too risky.

So if anyone can help, even a little, it will be greatly appreciated. And I will try and do whatever I can to repay the kindness in the future.

PayPal is trio.maxwell85[at]gmail.com if anyone can help.

I'm sorry to post this, but I'm not sure what else I can do.

Thanks.

Ok.

Attention everyone with an outstanding commission from me.

You have until June 5th to message me individually with what I still owe you.

If you do not message me this info by the 5th, then your art will not be completed.

I am compiling a final comms backlog list, and if it doesn't make said list it will not be done.

PM here or Telegram Oddman102

Taking quick sketch comms, $25 each.

Aiming for 8-10 for this weekend, starting tonight. But open to more if interest is good.

I'm short on bills this week, and with the holidays literally around the corner I'd like to have money to actually buy gifts for my kids.

So, comment here, message me, or reach out on Telegram (a)Oddman102

Thank you.

So, my lively financial institution has graciously informed me that I am overdrawn by $245 because they can't seem to say "No, he doesn't have any money available, please try again later."

So, I would like to open up a few Holiday Stuffing slots for individual characters to be stuffed by Oddy.

These will be available as quick sketch format, meaning there will be construction lines and other evidence of the drawing process.

I would like to offer up 10, at $25 each.

You can comment, PM, or message me on Telegram (a)Oddman102 if interested in helping out.

Otherwise, if you'd be at all interested in just donating some funds, PayPal is trio.maxwell85[at]gmail.com

Depression is trying to drag me down into a crushing abyss, and I'm struggling against it.

I continue to feel that I have no good luck left to me anymore, and with the constant stress involving my perpetual financial issues stemming from my aging car, my bills, or just generally trying to do something simple like feed my kids or keep gas in said car I am quickly losing my grip on that ledge.

The only reason I am here currently, is because I refuse to let my girls grow up without their dad. But it keeps getting harder to move forward, to keep up appearances, and portray myself as someone who isn't screaming for help internally and waiting for the stress of everything to finally trigger that heart attack I know is waiting for me.

I feel like I've been cursed with continual bad luck that won't stop beating me down until I break. But I can't break. Because my daughters need their dad, and I need them.

So, I know I'm asking a lot, and I really hate to do this, but I could use some help... Nothing huge, just a bit that can add up to restore my account to positive. Some help to keep gas in the car, food at hand, and the cycle of overdrafts to end. So maybe, when the next paycheck lands, I'm not instantly losing a quarter of it to fees.

I've had this set up for some time, but plan to really start putting more content into it as some backlogged projects start moving along.

I also plan on having a set streaming schedule on my nights off, being Friday and Saturday nights after the kids are in bed and I'm settling in for some downtime. Streams will have music playing and I will be active in the chat.

This weekend will be a continuation of owed work, with some new sketch slots opened to help offset offline expenses. They're $25 each, $35 for a dash of color. Cleaner commissions are off the table until further notice.

I also have a Telegram Chat where I share a lot of work in progress pics, and am open to chats with friends and fans. Chat is NSFW and open to new members. https://t.me/+O8yweUywo_g2NDkx

I'm also available on Telegram for direct messages, so don't be shy. Always happy to talk to folks and make some new friends. I've been very distant from the fandom in recent years, and would like to get to know people again.

Stream planned for Friday night.

Also, seeking some help to cover the replacement of a broken CV axle on my car.

Currently have $250 towards it, but would like to try and have another $100 in hand to be on the safe side.

So, tomorrow night might be a quick sketch night inbetween backlog pics, if anyone wants to help me out some.

For everyone who has been a fan and/or follower of mine since my days as Oddy/XPFODDBALL, I'm happy to say that my inspiration for drawing is starting to return. As such, I will finally begin posting art again soon, as well as producing work a little more frequently.

For those who have been patiently sitting on my backlog, I will be resuming work on your pieces as well.

My deepest apologies to everyone who has been waiting. I know I have let many of you down, and for that I am sorry. Life has been hectic lately, and I'm just now starting to get my mojo back.

If I owe you work, shoot me a note, or catch me via Telegram to remind me, and we'll talk about getting things caught up.

Also, don't be strangers. I miss having people to talk to, and I want to become an active member of this community again.

Being $35 overdrawn, and being almost out of gas.

So, if anybody wants to help, I need about $60 minimum right now...

Will offer sketches...

As mentioned in my previous journal, I am still working on a Christmas Party YCH.

I have 5 "invites" left, at $20 per slot. Hoping to still offset some of my last minute shopping needs, so I can again keep my car gassed up till the 31st.

Hello all.

This year has been a trying one to say the least, and like many I am happy that it is soon coming to its close.

However, it is with some difficulty I make this journal post. Due to recent events in my life, I continue to be coping with the financial strain of trying to maintain my car, pay my bills, and my desire to purchase Christmas gifts for my daughters.

So this year, to offset the cost of gifts and keep my bills paid, I really am going to push myself to do a group YCH pic in time for the new year.

It will be flat-color, digital, and be open to everyone who is able to help me out.

I am hoping to pull in about $200 to balance out my needs.

I will start with 10 slots for this pic at $20 each. The scene will be a clean Christmas party, with those who participate joining in the holiday festivities with my family's characters.

This will not be first come first served. This is ultimately open-ended, and will go past the 10 slots if need be.

If you don't have enough for a slot, but want to help you can send some funds to my Ko-Fi page at www.ko-fi.com/xpfoddball

People interested in a spot at the party, send $20 to my PayPal trio.maxwell85[at]gmail.com and PM me a reference of your character.

I know this is a difficult time for many, and I don't like asking for your help as much as I have been lately. But I am trying to keep my head above water.

Thank you in advance, and a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, etc to all.

I am gonna do a couple sketches at work tonight.

I need to pull in gas money to keep me getting to work till the 17th.

If anyone can spare a few bucks here and there, let me know what you'd like as a sketch.

PayPal is trio.maxwell85[at]gmail.com

https://ko-fi.com/xpfoddball#

Its not much, but its a helpful little thing.

In between attempting to iron out my backlog, I'm going to use this Ko-Fi donation page, kinda like meeting for coffee with a friend.

Drop a few bucks, get a sketch of a character of your choice hanging out with Trio for a drink.

Sketches will be quick, simplified but recognizable for your character. If this becomes a thing, it may be what I need to break out of my funk.

*Edit* Thanks to those who have helped, I'm about half way to where I was hoping to be.

This last week has been rough. At the moment, I fave having my home internet shut off, and a student loan payment overdrafting me yet again.

I know times are hard, but I could use a smidgen of help. And while I am painfully aware I owe many of you art at this point, I have little else to offer in possible exchange of some assistance.

I need to pull roughly $250 before the end of tomorrow, or I will become disconnected and overdrawn.

My PayPal address is trio.maxwell85[at]gmail.com and any help is always appreciated.

Feel free to PM me, or reach me on my Telegram Oddman102

For reasons I don't feel like getting into publicly, once the present backlog is completed I will no longer be taking commissions of any type.

I will be drawing for myself and my Patreon only, if I continue drawing at all after this.
