Things have gotten even WORSE now. After I left the shelter, the place I was set to go turned me down becauses of a major panic attack, and now I’m stuck in a dirty two-star motel for the forseeable future.

Now I need enough to pay for the room until I get more directions. Please, and thank you all

UPDATE: Two of the slots have been filled, one remains.

However, I still request additional help because I will be force to leave the shelter this Friday. I have somewhere else to stay fortunately, but will still require help with rent. Please continue to help or donate however you can. Thank you.

All commissions are finished, so I'm opening up three slots. First come, first served. Please DM me if you're interested

You know, seeing everyone getting ready for Halloween and such, I REALLY wish I wasn't dealing with this crisis so I can join in the fun myself.

But still, I am EXTREMELY grateful for everyone who supported and validated me. You've all done so much to get me through this, and I love you all for it.

Final push for the month

Alan Peterson @alanpeterson97.bsky.social · 17d

Good news, bad news time:

Good news: I finally got my computer back and finished the remaining commissions I had to do.

Bad news: it's still taking a while for the housing program to work, I don't get paid till next month, and my account is currently low.

Thank you all for continuing to help me.

It’s been nearly two months of this madness. I still don’t have my essential belongings to do something actually productive, so I feel like I’ve been wasting my time.

My case managers are working hard but still have no answers, and I’m stressed out of my mind. Please continue to help if you can.

Oh hey, this artwork looks cute! I should check out the rest of her portfolio!

You’ve been an inspiration to my own work and a wonderful, talented, funny person. I’m glad I got the chance to meet you, Yuki

I‘ve tried, but unfortunately it’s not that simple. The only thing I can do is trust the case managers to find the silver-lined opportunity I need.

Still, thank you for reaching out with the suggestion anyway. Times like this where I REALLY appreciate people who actually care.

As things are, I can only stay in the shelter for 15 more days. Also, due to limited bus service on Saturdays, I had to pay for an Uber back today instead of using my bus pass.

My case workers are working overtime to help me, so I just need one more push before I’m paid next month. Thank you all.

Because your art is a major inspiration to me, and because of all the fun we have sharing jokes and puns. It may not have been a perfect experience, but I’m still honored that I got to know you, Jay 👍
