elenilote:wenchlatte:Peeps we are struggling. Hubby hasn’t been to work since January (between his Mum’s death & changes to his medications, is anxiety has just overwhelmed him.) because of m school schedule, I’m down to two days of work. We’re trying to live off £30 a week. I’ve applied for disability, but that’s a slow process - and it requires documentation that I have to pay for.I’m taking emergency commissions. Watercolour postcards £15. If you want a different size, that’s completely negotiable. Portraits, character pics, heck I’ll paint pets. If you’ve got a reference, I can make it happen.Email is barbie.grover at gmail dot com. Please if you can’t commission me, reblog. I really need help.Now, £15 (=$20) represents half of Barbie’s current weekly income, so any commissions would make a hell of a difference. Barbie is both disabled and chronically ill. She is currently studying for her art degree while working what little she can to support two adults and a cat. On a very good week when nothing goes wrong and Barbie can work all the hours available, she makes £45 (~$60) in a week - that’s not a lot. It’s very demoralizing not being able to support yourself with the money you make. It’s humiliating asking for handouts from others, people have their own money troubles and then there’s the nagging voice at the back of your head saying you’re just a scrounger for doing this - that’s why Barbie is offering commissions in exchange for your donation, it gives just that little bit of dignity to the proceedings. Please please commission a watercolour from my friend to help her out. Alternatively if you want to help out but can’t stretch to £15/$20 or don’t want a commission after all, you can send money to Barbie directly at [email protected]. Signal boost this even if you cannot help financially. If you have any questions about anything or would like more details, please PM me. Thank you. -- source link
