I didn't want to do this. But I need your help!
🕑 Added 2025-10-14 11:13:33 +0000 UTCHey everyone,
As most of you might already know. I've been dealing with my aging father (now 86 years old) and his poor decisions have left me with a lot of debts that are now on my shoulders. This has put a lot of pressure on me, both financially and mentally (I'm currently under Xanax and other stress relief medication.) . I've tried dealing with it on my own and keeping on going for the past few months.
Sadly, more things have happened, and I have now come to the realization that I'm going to need financial help.
So... I have decided to create a Ko-fi account to accept donations from anyone kind enough to offer me financial aid.
I will be honest, I dreaded having to do this. And I'm crying as I write these words.
I already feel so fortunate to have so many of you support my work through patreon. Thanks to you, I make more than enough to make a living out of producing my art.
All the nice sets I've produced these past few years could not have happened without you.
Sadly, my father's situation happened. Debts piled up on me, and I'm now struggling to even survive this. My savings are melting away at this point, and I'm not sure how long I can keep this going on my own.
I've already asked for some support from family and friends, and they helped a bit, but I'm still a few thousand short to be able to pay the most pressing debts I must pay by the end of the year.
I'm sad and crying as I'm writing these words... As I did NOT want to steep so low as to have to ask for some extra financial help from my fans who have already supported me both financially and/or emotionally for so many years.
But the truth of the matter is... I need help! I... really... need help as I go through what has been the hardest time I have ever experienced in my 40 years on this earth.
If you can find it in your heart to help me out in these dark times. I would be forever grateful to you.

Don't feel forced to donate if you can't afford to. I'm going to keep working on my patreon content (My work is the only thing keeping me sane at this moment). So you don't have to worry about that).
But any help... would mean a lot. As... I can't do this alone anymore.
I love you all. Thank you all for just being here. And support me all these years. (Regardless if you make a donation or not.)
Tonk.
Edit: For anyone who would prefer to make a paypal donation: Please send me a private message and I'll share you my paypal information with you (I'm not using paypal as a payment option on Kofi because I've had bad experiences before with PayPal when I get too many payments in a short amount of time. So it's best I keep paypal donations to a minimum.)

That sounds everything not so nice=( I can only hope, that you are able to sort everything out soon and for your best.

It's not inheritance in this case. It's complicated but I essentially signed something for him ten years ago related to an apartment which made me liable, and learned recently that he hasn't paid what he owned for years. (Something he never told me.) Now this debt false on my head. I'm getting some legal counseling to get this sorted but it's super complicated. Add to this that I already spent a good chunk of my savings to help him when he was in trouble two years ago and last year. And that now, his health is deteriorating so I got to cover some of that too (at least find a caretaker). Just a perfect storm of stuff all happening at once. And now I'm overwhelmed. I just made some mistakes.
Ahry
Cant you reject the inheritance?

No worries. And advice is always appreciated. I have an expert for that, but it's very complicated. As this is the result of something I signed for my dad ten years ago, which I shouldn't have. I think there are way to find solutions, but it slow and expensive. I hope this ends sooner rather than later, but I 'm just not sure right now. Anyways, thanks for the words of support.

I'm bit out of loop, and don't know how debts work in your area. Sounds like you need to talk to a Certified Personal Accountant. I have to use one for taxes because Merica. To have someone do the heavy lifting for you really helps offload the stress. If this was already explored, my bad.

Thank you so much... I'm honestly embarrassed to have to do this. But I can't do this alone. Anything would help. Thank you.
