Hey!! ^^
So its been a little while since I mentioned and it was advised to me that I should repost? I was hesitant to do it because I didnt want to annoy people with asking for help...but I guess listening to their advice would be a good thing to do!
Here is the text from my original post!
GoFundMe: https://www.gofundme.com/ffd6g-debt-consolidation
Im embarrassed to put this up. Ive been thinking about this for some time but was always hesitant because of the negative stigma with gofundme in the furry community...
but I need help.
Im trying the best that I can to make things right with everyone but as hard as I try, I just cant seem to make any positive steps. I just keep skating at the same level or fall deeper in the hole. My biggest concern is refunding people but with having to pay for healthcare, medical needs, medicine, my chiropractor, my pets, my food and other things, I just cant seem to get where I need to be. And theres so much I want to do. I mainly just want to be in a comfortable and safe head space in order to fix and grow my business. I want to be able to rebuild my credit. I want to be able to move out and to raise up for a new car. I just dont want to be stuck in this continuous loop of getting no where and disappointing people.
With the refunds I need and the one bill in collections, Im a little under 3,000$ in debt.
I tried getting a high interest loan at a few places to cover all of this but because of my poor credit I was rejected every time. My credit is so low I cant even open up a bank account.
I wish I could offer things in return but Im so behind I cant offer much. If you DO donate, whatever, you can comment here and Ill try to compensate in any way I can! (I think Id just need a note with a screencap of proof).
Like I said...Im absolutely embarrassed and nervous to post this.
I appreciate any and all well wishes..Thank you so much for your time <3

I know it's hard some times to deal with people who are being cheep and emotionally aggressive those sorts of people fade back into the wood work...but have you considered raising your prices a little? It might be more emotionally sustainable for you to bump up a little and a lot of artists don't charge enough for the work they do.
Soooooo many artists I know that are having trouble make ends meet say exactly this. Supply and demand, if you're getting more work than you can finish you can charge more.
In a perfect world you would be able to charge exactly as much money as you needed to so that you would get a new client at the same time a previous client was finished. Queues exist because we have to charge a little less for consistent and stable work. If your queue keeps growing more than you can finish when it's open you're probably charging less than you could. If you can't make ends meet then you probably aren't charging as much as you need to. If you're both experiencing an ease growing your queue and having trouble making ends meet then you're probably really in need of a price increase.
At least...that's how I've heard the theory explained.
But yeah, you do good work, it's worth good money dear. No one deserves to be under financial stress when they're doing good work. Hell, if you feel guilty then once you are financially sound and don't have bills hanging over your head you can do a raffle here and there to try and give art to people who might not be able to afford it otherwise. Don't let folks grief you into not being able to make ends meet though.
