Thank you very much for listening to me! I am not very proud of doing this, but I'm not ashamed either. I need help and I'm asking for it. I'm brazillian and if you check your international news, you'll see that things are not going well down here. I fell into a Limbo where I simply can't find a job.

I have specialized into the healthcare area and work with Eastern therapies such as Ayurveda and Acupuncture. Sadly, people down here are so short on money that they stopped using such services because they tend to believe it's "Spa day" stuff and not something to be taken seriously. Apparently taking care of your health is only good when there are pills and surgery involved...

Since that's what I have experience with for all of my work life and to get into the walled city of work you first need to have worked with whatever you're trying to get a jov at... I am not finding anyone willing to hire me, even for the temporary work available during the holidays. I don't think I can make enough for the bills this month and the next and that's scarying me. The end of the year/beginning of the year is the worst period for me to work because people spend all of their money and then some on other things and there's little to no money spent on my kind of work.

Here I am, asking you not for a new videoboard, drawing tablet or cellphone, but for some change that could help me keep up with the basics, such as electricity and water. The 27th of this month is my birthday and all I'm asking is for some tranqulity and peace of mind during christmas and my special day, knowing that in the long run I can actually keep up with the bills. All I'm asking is for the capacity of resting my head a little during that special time of the year and to keep water running out of my tap.

You can help me with any amount you're willing to share on my paypal stary_adamski@ymail.com or if you desire, with 5$ by joining my patreon https://www.patreon.com/InkDragon and supporting me on my pursuit of art as a secondary or maybe even primary source of income, in the future. To help you warm your heart towards my cause and show you just how big is a little help, let me show you the numbers:

Currently, every Dollar is worthy about 4,20 of my local coin, the brazillian Real. That's a lot! Every 10 dollars will convert to roughly 40 of my local coin. After paypal fees and local taxes, that amount will be around 30, maybe 32 that I can use. That much already helps me slice a considerable chunk off the bills.

I won't tell you that what may seem a small amount for some can be a massive help for me, because you already know that by now. For the price of a fast food combo that will damage your health, you could instead be a big help for a brazillian person suffering with this dumbass we call a president and his destructive economics.

If you read this journal, I thank you very much for taking the time to listen. Whether you will help me with money or not, I'm grateful for your time and patience. Even if you can't or don't desire to help me with cash, you can always do something else that helps. Share some art of mine with a friend, maybe they'll like it and watch me. Follow me on twitter https://twitter.com/InkDragon2 or even click to favorite some pictures of mine.

Bless you all, friends. I wish that this end of the Year will be full of blessings for us all.
