I'm taking some time to experiment with something like crowdfunding but it's all pretty new to me.
Currently testing this place called Gittip -- https://www.gittip.com/SunflowerBun/
Apparently you can only send weekly payments so far but another option for one time payments is to send through gift rocket -- http://www.giftrocket.com/send-a-gift-card to my email ShelbyShuff@aol.com
I would be so so grateful to all of you if I could even get one lil dollar I'd be ecstatic!
I really want to start taking commissions again but it puts a lot of stress on me and having some extra money to take care of myself would be so wonderful and I just.. I wouldn't be able to thank you enough.
Gittip sends directly to my bank account and has various payment method options so we can avoid using paypal and their stinky ways.
That's why I do it per-item instead of per-month. That way, if I don't put anything up, I don't get paid.
I think that's why I like the casualty of gittip since it's based on just tipping and supporting a person based on what they have done and are doing. It would be kinda just super nice and inspiring and helping me a LOT without the "don't work, don't eat" sort of mentality. I have like really bad anxiety and I just want to make sure I don't put myself in a bad way >x<
I really like the idea of that website!
However, I can see a lot of potential donors hesitating because it requires an account to donate. (people are lazy, and don't want to give out their information to one-use only sites)

Interesting. I'll look into these. Have you seen/considered Patreon?
