Hi, everyone... I want to personally thank the two people who have donated since the last update - thanks to them, the Chase account isn't overdrawn anymore.

However, I haven't gotten any Paypal donations, and my wife has her last bit of medication that we have today. Her meds are $100 for a week, as I've mentioned before, and I really need to get her more before the end of the day today.

I'm willing to do anything I can to earn the money you all are donating. If you contact me and let me know who you are, I'm offering a free art commission from me up to the amount you've donated in value for free. (Or, if you prefer, pre-paid, since it's based on your donations.)

My Patreon is another way you all can help us, and you'll get to see all sorts of great things from me, like getting to read some blog posts early, and getting to influence the edit and writing of my books, and getting your name in the dedication of said books (for as little as $5 a month - you've all already donated so much more than that!)

Links to my Paypal and Patreon are on my commissions page, so while you're there you can pick out the kind of commission you might like. Think of it as shopping, maybe?

I don't know...I'm just scared. We're so far overdue on bills that it feels like we'll never climb out of this. If I can't get the $467 car payment paid (not counting the over $1000 in back payments we owe) by the 19th of this month, we lose the car.

I spend hours every day working and networking and applying for jobs, and I never get calls back. If I'm lucky I get a few small commissions, a few donations, enough to keep my wife in medication (which at this point is my primary short term goal...if she has another stroke, she could die, and I swear...if she goes, I'm probably going to go with her...)

All the money it says has been donated so far is gone - it's paid for food, cleared up overdrafts, and paid for money over the last few months. I'm staring at balances teetering on the negative, and...I'm afraid.

I'm afraid of losing my wife. I'm afraid of having the car repossessed. I'm afraid of the way the world seems to be falling apart around all of us. I'm afraid for the future with the current political climate in the US. I'm worried about so many things...I think I'm giving myself an ulcer.

My leg hasn't gotten any better, but I haven't been able to go to the ER because we don't have transportation or a means to pay for paid transportation. I just...I'm reaching the end of my emotional rope here.

As I sat down to type this update, I actually had the thought of "why am I bothering? I'm just going to upset people who read it and can't help..." But I'm doing it, for my wife. I'm doing it for her medication, if nothing else.

I can't even think long term right now...but honestly, if I can, if we're ever successful, if we ever crawl out of this, I want to find some way to pay back everyone who's donated. I just...I'm depressed, I'm out of my medication - pain and otherwise - I can't even get to the clinic to get my blood pressure medication refilled so now I'm exhausted from unmedicated high blood pressure on top of everything else.

Now I'm just babbling...I'm sorry, everyone. Please, if you can find it in your hearts and wallets to donate, to keep my wife in medication... Just...please. And thank you.

As always, GFM donations go toward any bill I can pay with them (and in lue of that, food), and Paypal donations go straight into our food/medication fund.

Thank you all so much... here's the link again for my commissions page with links to Paypal and Patreon.
